Congresswoman Pou Blasts Restarting of Iran War

“Today, President Trump has officially notified us that he is restarting our nation’s war against the Iranian government, a war Congress did not ratify and which the American people do not support,” said Congresswoman Pou. “The House voted to halt this illegal war; President Trump disregarded us. Overwhelming majorities of Americans have signaled their disapproval; Trump ignored them. Gas prices have skyrocketed and will now rise some more; the administration does not care. America’s allies beseech us to stop fighting; crickets from the White House. This war is illegal, unwanted, counterproductive, destructive, ill-advised, outrageous. This renewal will benefit no one but the Iranian dictators themselves.”
