Washington, D.C. — Representative Dave Min (CA-47) released the following statement on today’s strikes on Iran:
“Over the past few months, my heart has ached for the Iranian people. For decades, they have suffered under this evil regime, but in recent weeks, the Islamic Republic has brutally attacked, tortured, raped, and killed tens of thousands of peaceful Iranians. Many of my constituents have not been able to be in contact with their family and friends in Iran. I will always oppose this heinous regime.
However, as a member of Congress and an American citizen, I cannot stand by quietly while President Trump drags us into a costly and illegal war without even consulting with Congress, let alone receiving a declaration of war or authorization to use military force. The Constitution is clear: Congress and only Congress can declare war. Trump must immediately present his case for putting our servicemembers in harm’s way to Congress and the American people.
The “why” and the “how” matter when it comes to deploying American troops into combat, and Trump has failed to offer a compelling explanation on either front. I am deeply concerned that Trump’s rationale for war seems to have more to do with distracting the American people from the many failures and scandals surrounding him, including his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, than preventing the death and suffering in Iran, and that he is engaging in a clearly illegal war to do this.”
