DeLauro Statement on President Trump’s Attack on Iran

WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s decision to launch large-scale attacks on Iran:

“President Trump’s decision, along with Israel, to launch direct military action against Iran to achieve regime change is a disaster in the making. He is risking the lives of American personnel and the stability of the entire region, without Congressional approval and without any articulated plan. This is yet another unilateral decision from President Trump, which risks a wider war in the Middle East that the American people do not support. Americans are demanding help with the cost-of-living crisis, but President Trump would rather start another war, potentially driving up energy prices, than listen to them.”
