"This is war, and we're taking out the threat. And if you're part of the threat, then you're a target. What we call not all the arrows, but going after the archers. They've declared war on us, but we haven't. We're simply fighting the threat that's been at our door for 47 years."
"We haven't declared war. So if we haven't declared war, then I don't see that. The president hasn't asked us to declare war yet, but they have declared war on us. War is ugly. It always has been ugly. But we're taking out a regime that's been trying to attack us for quite some time."
Sen. Markwayne Mullin described ongoing military operations against Iran as war during a Capitol Hill press conference, stating that threats would be targeted. When reporters challenged his language, Mullin clarified that while the administration is conducting military operations, Congress has not formally declared war. He emphasized that Iran declared war on the United States, but the U.S. has not reciprocated with an official declaration. Mullin acknowledged his initial phrasing was imprecise, explaining the military response addresses threats from Iran spanning decades. He maintained the distinction between military action and formal war declaration, noting the president has not requested Congress to declare war.
