The United States is building up air power in Iran amid Tehran’s rapid expansion of uranium enrichment, attacks on commercial oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and the government’s deadly crackdown on protests.
In light of this, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said he plans to put his and Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie’s War Powers Resolution up for a debate and vote before Congress next week.
On X, Khanna said he “won’t let Trump launch a disastrous war without Congress voting to stop it,” and that such an action would be “catastrophic.” Massie, in his own social media statements, said he “will vote to put America first which means voting against more war in the Middle East.”
This legislation was first introduced during the 12-day war between Iran and Israel.
