My statement on U.S. military action in Iran:

- AS
Americans do not want another forever war in the Middle East. Congress must return to DC immediately to reassert its war powers.

Trump’s war against Iran is illegal and a betrayal of the American people. Congress cannot allow Trump to drag yet another generation into a forever war.

No president has the right to drag the nation into war like this alone. The American people deserve a voice. Congress must return immediately to vote on this war. God bless our troops as they keep their oath. We, the people's elected representatives, must keep ours.
- MC
Adherence to the Constitution, transparency, reason, and deliberation, guided by American values and interests, should determine what we do next. (6/6)
- MC
He must also send his military and civilian leadership team before the people’s representatives in the House and the Senate to explain where we are and where he is taking us. (5/6)
- MC
The Congress must demand that the President seek our Constitutionally required approval if he intends to engage in a protracted conflict. (4/6)

... and rebuilding the international coalition of allies and partners forged to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon by having a vigorous inspection regime like the one under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). (3/6)
- MC
The Iranian government is by every definition an enemy of the United States, but the enduring solution is to leverage strong bipartisan support for tougher sanctions ... (2/6)
- MC
The President should not have initiated a large-scale attack on Iran without Congressional approval, the support of key allies around the world, or having made his case to the American people. (1/6)
- MK
It wasn’t long ago that thousands of American families lost sons and daughters for a war with no end in sight. Trump is risking that again with Iran, and he’s doing it all without Congressional approval. The Senate needs to come back to Washington to do its job.
- MK
People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next. The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.

Trump put far too little effort into diplomacy with Iran. He’s placing service members in harm’s way without any proof of imminent threat.

In the meantime, the Senate must immediately vote on Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution to block this illegal military campaign.
- TD
He owes it to the American people he promised he would always put first to immediately come before Congress and attempt to justify how this illegal war will serve their interests.
- TD
Donald Trump cannot stop breaking his promises. By illegally striking Iran, Trump made a choice—one he did not have to make—that puts American lives and national security at risk while threatening to draw us into yet another expensive, tax-payer funded forever war without Congressional approval.
- RW
Americans do not want another forever war in the Middle East. We have walked this road before & too many Americans paid the ultimate price. The president must do everything in his power to find a diplomatic solution. I am praying for peace & our servicemembers.

Americans don't want another war. My statement:

I have seen no indication there was any immediate threat to Americans. So why did we put troops in harms way and potentially ignite another forever war?

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

I join all Americans in praying for the U.S. service members who are in harm’s way today, a day on which President Trump recklessly and unilaterally decided to enter our country into another foreign war. My full statement:

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

Congress should immediately return to vote on the Kaine Paul Schiff Schumer War Powers Resolution.
- AS
Trump is drawing our country into yet another foreign war that Americans don’t want and Congress has not authorized. The Iranian regime is a brutal and murderous dictatorship. But that does not give Trump the authority to unilaterally initiate a war of choice.
- AK
We’ve seen what happens when America goes into conflict in the Middle East without long-term strategy. When it comes to war, I — like the American people — do not trust this President.

- ES
Issues of war and peace should be treated with the utmost consequence. Trump owes Americans the same thing he was demanding of previous presidents if he’s going to put lives at risk. He hasn’t laid out the goals or the imminent threat posed by Iran that justifies risking a wider regional war.

We are praying for American service members and others who have been put in harm’s way by this irresponsible President.
- TS
The Senate must immediately return to Washington and use our Constitutional powers to pass a War Powers Resolution to stop this. This war will not make us safer, nor will it help Americans afford groceries or health care or rent.
- TS
We wake up this morning to learn that Trump has launched a reckless, illegal war. We can support the democracy movement and the people of Iran without risking the lives of our brave troops.

My statement on President Trump's Strikes on Iran:

- RW
Donald Trump is unilaterally dragging us into another costly and deadly war in the Middle East that the American people don't want. Trump and Hegseth are putting American lives on the line to make themselves feel powerful, while our military families pay the real price.

My foremost concern is the safety & wellbeing of the men & women in our armed forces & their families who are in harm’s way. 4
- RB
This attack fits a pattern of unilateral action without accountability to the American people. I believe that Congress should come back into session, demand answers on behalf of Americans, & act on the Iran War Powers Resolution. 3/
- RB
A nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable & Iran’s malign activities throughout the region pose a severe danger, but President Trump has failed to explain to the American people his objectives, end game, or exit strategy—risking another forever war. 2/
- RB
War must always be a last resort & never a first choice. The Trump Administration seems to be engaging in a war of choice that rejects opportunities for diplomacy. 1/

President Trump’s military campaign against Iran and call for regime change are the beginning of a reckless new war of choice with no clear strategy and no clear endpoint. This is not how a democracy goes to war.
