Schatz Statement On Trump’s War With Iran

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement on President Trump’s strikes on Iran.

“This is a war of choice and a mistake that knowingly risks the lives of U.S. service members and people in the region in the name of regime change. Had President Trump stuck to negotiations or not exited the JCPOA, this could have been avoided.

“The administration must de-escalate immediately. Congress needs to vote and make clear: we will not sign off on another needless war or repeat the deadly mistakes of the past.”
