Sanders Introduces Bill Blocking Trump From Using Federal Funds for War on Iran
Briefly

Senator Bernie Sanders, with support from six other Democratic senators, has introduced the No War Against Iran Act to prevent the Trump administration from engaging in military actions against Iran without Congressional approval. Sanders condemns Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's military actions in the region, describing them as illegal and detrimental to peace. He argues that authority over such decisions rests with Congress, following the intentions of the Founding Fathers, and warns of the severe human and economic costs of further conflict in the Middle East.
Congress must make it clear that the United States will not be dragged into Netanyahu's war of choice.
Netanyahu's reckless and illegal attacks violate international law and risk igniting a regional war.
Our Founding Fathers entrusted the power of war and peace exclusively to the people's elected representatives in Congress.
Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars.
