Salinas Statement on Trump's Strikes on Iran

June 21, 2025

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas' statement on Trump's strikes on Iran: 

“Donald Trump's decision to attack Iran is unauthorized and unconstitutional. Any future involvement needs to be debated and approved by Congress, especially if it involves our service members.

I will continue to uphold the oath I swore to defend the Constitution and the security of the United States.

Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon and preventing a nuclear armed Iran is a shared priority both for the United States, Israel and our allies.

However, we cannot allow any president to involve us in another open-ended war without constitutional authority.”
