Statement from Chairman Aguilar on Trump Administration Strikes in Iran
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar released the following statement on President Donald Trump's decision to strike Iran without Congressional authorization:
"I am deeply concerned about Trump's decision to strike Iran without authorization from Congress.
"Iran is a terrorist state, a destabilizing force in the Middle East and continues to violate the human rights of Iranians.
"However, the Trump Administration must immediately brief all Members about this military action and explain why they are sending American troops and taxpayer dollars to another war in the Middle East.
"House Democrats will force a vote on the War Powers Resolution offered by Reps. Khanna and Massie to restrict military action in Iran without Congressional approval. I will vote for the War Powers resolution in the House and will continue praying for our servicemembers who are in harm's way."
