Abandoning that approach in favor of reckless escalation puts lives, security, and regional stability at risk.
The American people overwhelmingly do not want another war in the Middle East, and the last thing our country needs is to be drawn into a conflict that would cost lives and destabilize the region.
Trump’s dangerous rhetoric cannot be normalized. We must act immediately to hold this administration accountable and protect the American people.
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.
