Rep. Derek Tran on the Conflict Between Israel and Iran

Washington, DC - Rep. Derek Tran (CA-45) released a statement in response to the conflict between Israel and Iran:

"As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am deeply concerned about the potential consequences of escalating tensions in the Middle East. Iran having a nuclear weapon would be dangerous for the United States, Israel, and our global allies. The Trump Administration must take meaningful actions to enhance U.S. global interests instead of encouraging escalatory actions behind closed doors. I will continue to use my oversight power on the Armed Services Committee to hold this Administration accountable for prioritizing the deployment of service members against American citizens while leaving global conflicts in Europe, the Indo-Pacific, and the Middle East without proper personnel.

A regional war in the Middle East would be devastating for our allies in the region, especially Israel, and I urge all parties to address Iran's nuclear threat diplomatically instead of militarily. I urge President Trump to prioritize the protection of our service members by defusing the conflict between Israel and Iran and removing the troops from the streets of Southern California."
