Rep. Cisneros Slams Trump on Unauthorized Strike on Iran

Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Gil Cisneros (CA-31) released the following statement:

“The President cannot circumvent the Constitution and wage war without the approval of Congress. Iran is a bad actor and oppressive state that has suppressed its people and supported terrorism around the world. However, our military forces do not belong to the President to use on a whim, or because he doesn’t agree with the pace of negotiations. This is not about defending the nation. This is the President being reckless. Donald Trump’s actions have put military forces at risk and made us less safe.”
