Durbin Statement On The U.S. And Israel Launching A Military Attack On Iran
SPRINGFIELD - U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement after the United States and Israel launched a military attack on Iran:
"Though there is bipartisan support for stopping the development of nuclear weapons in Iran, there is no consensus for another interminable war in the Middle East. I was one of 23 Senators who voted against the war in Iraq. A war in Iran with the goal of regime change could be another long-term military commitment with deadly consequences for thousands of American troops. The rash and unpredictable conduct of President Trump is a well-established worry in many ways but an impulsive commander in chief is a deadly combination."
