Congressman Krishnamoorthi Responds to President Trump’s Unilateral Military Action in Iran

SCHAUMBURG, IL – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement today:

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Cannot. Which is why President Trump’s decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal is proving to be a grave misstep. 

However, the President also cannot take unilateral military action in Iran without Congressional approval. We must pursue a diplomatic resolution to protect American troops, our interests in the region, and global peace. As I return to Washington this week, and as a senior member of the House Intelligence Committee, I will seek detailed information regarding this developing situation.”
