WASHINGTON – Following the announcement that the United States has bombed multiple nuclear sites in Iran, Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) released the following statement:
“The American people do not want to be dragged into another endless war in the Middle East. I would know. I saw close friends die next to me serving as a Marine in a high-combat unit in Iraq. Each of these deaths was needless.
“We have yet to see any evidence to prove that tonight’s strikes were necessary to protect U.S. national security. President Trump must immediately show why tonight’s strikes were necessary. Without that evidence, President Trump’s bombing of Iran risks the lives of Americans, both civilians at home and our servicemembers in the Middle East.
“The President’s actions could escalate us into a war. We cannot repeat history and blindly march in to another faraway conflict that puts Americans’ lives at risk.”
