Madam Speaker, in June 2019, Iran shot down a U.S. drone. Trump said, no, we are not going to retaliate because no U.S. lives were lost. Iran attacked Saudi oil fields. Iran-backed militia killed a U.S. citizen and wounded four troops. Then, an Iran-backed militia attacked the U.S. Embassy. Soleimani was a terrorist designated by the Obama administration. Let me read very quickly what the Joint Chiefs of Staff have said. He has had 40 years of military experience under all different administrations. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has again expired.
