US EditionBipartisan lawmakers to introduce resolution to prohibit US involvement in Iran
- On Tuesday, Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie unveiled a cross-party legislative measure designed to limit President Trump's ability to engage in the Israel-Iran conflict without obtaining congressional consent.
- The resolution responds to recent escalation between Israel and Iran, with lawmakers emphasizing that only Congress has the constitutional authority to declare war against Iran.
- Khanna stated, "No war in Iran," and Massie declared, "This is not our war," urging that the president should not bypass Congress and calling on members across parties to support the bill.
- The proposed legislation aims to prohibit the allocation of federal funds for any military operations involving Iran unless Congress authorizes it, with an exception made for actions taken in self-defense, and has received backing from a number of Democrats, including Representatives Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib.
- This bipartisan effort reflects broad congressional and public opposition to U.S. military involvement in the conflict, with polls showing 60% of Americans oppose such intervention.
