Janice Schakowsky: “Some vulnerabilities are thrust upon us as a Nation, and others, like the one we are discussing, are really…”

I fought for and continue to defend the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which proved that diplomacy, not war, can constrain Iran’s nuclear program and keep Americans safe.

Abandoning that approach in favor of reckless escalation puts lives, security, and regional stability at risk.

Iran should never be permitted to have a nuclear weapon.

President Trump’s announcement of ‘major combat operations’ was not authorized by Congress, and I fully support a bipartisan War Powers resolution to reclaim our constitutional authority over matters of war.
