NJ Democrat Hamawy Won’t Call Iran a Foe, Blames U.S., Israel for War

  • Rep.-Elect Adam Hamawy declined to label Iran an adversary on Tuesday during a CNN 'Situation Room' appearance, arguing instead that Washington had 'pushed' Tehran into the ongoing conflict.
  • Elected last week to represent New Jersey's 12th Congressional District, the former U.S. Army combat surgeon has frequently criticized U.S. military aid to Israel during his campaign.
  • When anchor Pamela Brown noted Iran's 'Death to America' rhetoric, Hamawy responded, 'We've been saying death to Iran for decades as well,' claiming the United States has also killed many Iranians.
  • Scrutiny over Hamawy's 1995 testimony defending Omar Abdel-Rahman, the 'Blind Sheikh' convicted of plotting terrorist attacks, has persisted despite a campaign spokesperson condemning the cleric's violent rhetoric.
  • Scheduled to be sworn in when Congress convenes in January 2027, Hamawy enters office as Washington navigates persistent diplomatic stalemates with Tehran amid regional tensions in the Middle East.
