The U.S. always retains the right to self-defense, but we owe it to our military — and ourselves, as a nation who has been at war in the Middle East for 18 years — to be responsible and exhaust all options, short of war.

Let me be clear: Iran is a bad actor & engages in destabilizing activities across the Middle East. But we must avoid unintentionally stumbling into war. If the Admin. wants to take us to war, they need to come to Congress to make their case for authorization of military force.pic.twitter.com/T4f0b2Mizk

Honestly, isn’t the
just as guilty of destabilizing regions throughout it’s history? -
Seriously. All Iran is doing is protecting themselves from Saudi Arabia. They are the real destabilizing factor in the region. The US is the other.

Unfortunately this administration uses international incidents to distract us away from its troubles here at home. Congress needs to join
@RepSlotkin in making it clear to@POTUS the requirement to seek advice AND CONSENT before initiating a war.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

In April, the president determined the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. 2001 AUMF grants legal authority for military action per vagaries in language of the resolution. Repeal AUMF, its purpose to capture or kill 9/11/2001 perpetrators has been served.
