CONGRESSMAN JONATHAN L. JACKSON CONDEMNS TRUMPS ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN AND THE TRAGIC DEATHS OF U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (IL-01), Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement in response to the unconstitutional use of military force against Iran: "Yet again, without presenting credible evidence to Congress or the American people before bombing a country of 90 million people, Trump abandoned negotiations and unconstitutionally dragged the U.S. into another reckless regime change. His escalation endangers U.S. Service Members, harms civilians, and threatens to destabilize global peace and security.

My heart goes out to the families of the three U.S. Service Members who lost their lives and to those who were injured in this immoral war of choice.
I have, and will continue to, condemn the violent actions of the Iranian regime towards its own people and Othrough proxy forces. But choosing violence to destabilize the region rather than pursuing real diplomatic solutions will only result in more violence. The people of Iran and across the region deserve peace, democracy, and dignity.
Mike Johnson, if you believe in the Constitution, bring the Iran War Powers Resolution introduced by Reps. Khanna (D-CA) and Massie (R-KY) to the House Floor before another life is lost."
