Sánchez on U.S. strikes on Iran

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) released the following statement on President Trump’s airstrikes on nuclear sites in Iran:

“Just eight months after attacking nuclear sites in Iran and declaring its nuclear program ‘completely and totally obliterated,’ President Trump has dangerously escalated the situation. 

“He has again violated the Constitution by launching additional airstrikes targeting major cities in Iran without congressional approval, further risking another forever war in the Middle East without a clear strategy or credible evidence of an imminent threat.

 “Congress must reject this course. I urge Republicans to join Democrats in defending the Constitution and protecting our troops from this reckless president.”
