House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and U.S. Reps. Yvette Clarke and Dan Goldman criticized President Trump's recent airstrikes on Iran, with calls for accountability to Congress. Jeffries warned the strikes could worsen the Middle East crisis and endanger U.S. troops. Clarke condemned Trump's unilateral action, which disregarded Congressional disapproval and called for censure, while highlighting potential repercussions such as Iranian retaliation. Goldman acknowledged the Iranian threat but echoed concerns about the president's failure to consult Congress, demanding a report on the airstrikes' details under the War Powers Resolution, emphasizing the need for diplomacy to avoid further conflict.
Donald Trump shoulders complete and total responsibility for any adverse consequences that flow from his unilateral military action.
Despite Congress' overwhelming disapproval, despite the American people's desperate pleas for peace and diplomacy, Trump acted unilaterally.
For decades, the Iranian regime has sought the destruction of the United States and its democratic allies, consistently attacking Americans.
I will demand Trump deliver a report on operational details within 48 hours, as required by the War Powers Resolution.
