Senator Sanders Offers Legislation to Limit Military Action Against Iran

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders unveils legislation that would prevent the Trump administration from using any funds for military action against Iran without congressional authorization. Citing the reasons given by political leaders that led the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, Senator Sanders criticizes the reasons given by the administration for the drone strike that killed Iran's top military commander and says he will do everything he can to prevent another such war with Iran. “Just as we were led into Vietnam and Iraq by lies, the Trump administration is misleading us on Iran. They are justifying the assassination of Qasem Soleimani by claiming that he was planning imminent attacks on hundreds of Americans in the region, and yet they produce no evidence that would justify this claim, not even in a classified setting," Sanders says. close
