Mrvan Statement on Iran

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Frank J. Mrvan released the following statement regarding the recent U.S. military action in Iran.

“Let me be clear, no one believes Iran should be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon. 

However, the decision to conduct military action and send our brave servicemembers into harm’s way must only be made after deliberate and careful consideration, in close consultation with Congress and a coalition of our allies.

“I do not believe that the Administration’s decision has met that standard in this instance.

Our priority now must be to re-engage with our allies and Israel to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East, and prevent our nation from being drawn into another prolonged military conflict in the region.

“The Administration must also fulfill their Constitutional responsibilities to communicate with Congress on this situation and to do so without delay.”
