Rep. Sykes Statement on Military Action in Iran
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Emilia Sykes (OH-13) released this statement following President Trump’s announcement of military action in Iran.
“The Iranian regime’s nuclear program is a significant threat to the United States and our allies, and I remain committed to ensuring Iran never possesses a nuclear weapon.
“The President’s decision to bomb nuclear sites in Iran without Congressional debate or authorization leaves many critical questions unanswered, particularly around the intelligence leading up to the decision. I expect a full, classified briefing on the strikes in Iran as soon as Congress returns to Washington this week.
“Like many Ohioans, I am concerned about the prospect of another costly war in the Middle East that will risk American lives. I’m relieved to hear that no American servicemembers were harmed in the airstrikes but remain deeply concerned about the safety of American troops stationed in the Middle East.”
