Rep. Summer Lee Statement Condemning Strikes on Iran

February 28, 2026 Press Release PITTSBURGH, PA – FEBRUARY 28, 2026 — Today, Congresswoman
Summer L. Lee (PA-12) issued the
following statement condemning President Trump’s decision to illegally strike
Iran: “Trump’s words make it clear he doesn’t care about the
safety of Americans and his actions make clear he doesn't care about the safety
of the Iranian people. If he did, he wouldn’t be risking the lives of American
troops for the sake of another endless war or trying to turn Iran into a war
zone. “From day one Trump has shown us his corruption and desire for regime change in multiple countries that he has no business being in. “This is an insanely unpopular, dangerous, and illegal act of war. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution immediately and hold this lawless president accountable.” Congresswoman Summer Lee serves on the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Education and Workforce.
