Iran

“She also demanded an end to the Iran War and challenged Graham’s judgment in voting three times against ending a conflict that has killed 18 Americans and sent diesel prices to a record high in South Carolina – crushing farmers, fishermen, and truckers.”

“End the illegal war in Iran.”

“On the eve of Halloween, she also discussed just how much more the holiday is costing young families like hers this year – and how she’ll vote to immediately end the cost-spiking Iran War and reckless tariffs as NEPA’s congresswoman.”

“We need to make sure that we’re doing the oversight in parallel with the things that will meaningfully lower costs: ending the war on Iran, ending the erratic tariffs, and making sure that we’re showing people that we’re serious about working for them.”

“End the costly Iran War, which is costing taxpayers $2 billion per day and driving gas and diesel prices through the roof.”

“Zach stood with fellow veterans to call for an end to the Iran war as momentum continues to build behind his campaign.”

“Jake will vote to end the massive tariffs and the Iran War, fight the corporate monopolies, and cut taxes for working families.”

“My priority is making sure that our farmers get real relief, both through federal assistance and by tackling the root causes of these challenges. That means ending the massive tariffs, bringing an end to the war in Iran, and taking on the big corporations that keep driving up costs.”

“I would vote to end the war in Iran. It’s costing Minnesota families billions and jacking up gas and fertilizer prices when we should be addressing problems here at home.”

“For me, it’s going to DC to end the tariffs, end the Iran War, get a Congress that is actually fighting for our farmers, small business owners, and families.”

“Stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon: A nuclear Iran is unacceptable – but we should work to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon through diplomatic means, not reckless military strikes that threaten to further destabilize the region and fail to remove the threat.”

“Ending military escalation with Iran and pursuing diplomacy to ensure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.”

“While I oppose a nuclear-armed Iran, I understand that diplomatic means of achieving that goal are more effective and come with a far lower human cost, just as President Obama had achieved under the JCPOA.”

“I wasn’t in Congress at the time to vote on this, but I think I would have voted against the Iran deal. I think it was a bad deal from the start: the sunset clauses, the fact that it didn’t prevent Iran from getting the other components necessary – such as the actual missile technology – in order to create a nuclear weapon if they were ultimately successful in enriching uranium”

“In the Middle East, I will support diplomacy, regional de-escalation, and a serious strategy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon without plunging America into another endless conflict.”

“I think we’ve got to bring it to a close. We’ve got to get our service members out of harm’s way. We can continue to hold Iran to account for their malign influence that they have in the region.

“Look, Iran is the leading sponsor of terror, and they should never have a nuclear weapon. But there’s the saying that when you make diplomacy impossible, you make war inevitable.”

“Congress must exercise its constitutional war powers, demand clear objectives and accountability, and pursue serious diplomacy. This war has cost us lives, treasure, and international prestige and allies. We cannot gamble with American lives in an illegal, open-ended conflict without congressional authorization or a credible plan for what comes next.”

“I think we’ve got to bring it to a close. We’ve got to get our service members out of harm’s way. We can continue to hold Iran to account for their malign influence that they have in the region. We should be working to toughen sanctions and working with allies and partners in the region through diplomatic channels to keep a lid on their nuclear program.”

“In Congress Chris has worked to safeguard American interests and values across the globe, support our allies, and protect democracy from the rising influence of authoritarian regimes like Russia, Iran, and China.”

“Take urgent action to support peace in the Middle East: Protect innocent life by stopping offensive weapons sales to the Netanyahu government while supporting defensive systems like the Iron Dome alongside agreements that American funds will not be used to harm civilians; use all of America’s financial and diplomatic leverage to secure a two-state solution that disarms Hamas, establishes a democratic Palestinian state, halts Israel’s illegal settlements, and respects the sovereignty of both nations; and promote long-term regional cooperation to defend American interests against adversaries like Iran.”

“Scott will push to restore meaningful negotiations while maintaining multilateral pressure. Military force is a last resort, and any use of it requires explicit authorization from Congress”

“It also means we need to call out our own country’s actions. I oppose illegal and unnecessary wars. What’s happened in Iran and with the boats coming from Venezuela – and what this administration is hinting at with possible military action in Greenland and Cuba – is a dangerous abuse of power and violates international law. Bare minimum, we need congressional oversight and our international allies to agree before we go to war.”

“Pappas is fighting to rein in Trump’s reckless war in Iran and repeatedly voted to reassert Congress’s authority to oversee and approve the deployment of U.S. military power abroad.”

“Fight to end the War on Iran and stop future wars: The Iran campaign is costing us $2 billion per day and we have no clear plan for permanently ending it. U.S. and Israeli airstrikes have already killed over 1,400 Iranians, and security experts have argued the war has made us more vulnerable to nuclear attacks and eroded the possibility for long-term diplomacy. Claire will fight to pass a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to force the end of hostilities and will oppose any funding for the war.”

“America must protect our people and our allies, but that does not give any president unchecked authority to drag the country into another war. The War Powers Act is not a 60-day war-of-choice coupon.”

“Congress must exercise its constitutional war powers, demand clear objectives and accountability, and pursue serious diplomacy. This war has cost us lives, treasure, and international prestige and allies. We cannot gamble with American lives in an illegal, open-ended conflict without congressional authorization or a credible plan for what comes next.”

“Keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon — without another forever war: Find an end to this disastrous war that ensures Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon, supports the democracy movement, and stops costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.”

“This requires honesty about our allies, not just our adversaries. Russia's war on Ukraine is a human rights catastrophe. So is the systematic criminalization of LGBTQ people in Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. So are the treatment of women, the suppression of dissent, and the exploitation of migrant workers that define governance across much of the Gulf. The United States cannot preach democracy while looking the other way because a government hosts one of our military bases or buys American weapons. Scott will push Congress to use every tool available, including diplomatic pressure, trade policy, and security agreements, to advance real, measurable human rights improvements in these countries.”

“I wasn’t in Congress at the time to vote on this, but I think I would have voted against the Iran deal. I think it was a bad deal from the start: the sunset clauses, the fact that it didn’t prevent Iran from getting the other components necessary – such as the actual missile technology – in order to create a nuclear weapon if they were ultimately successful in enriching uranium”

“Scott also believes the U.S. should continue to provide Israel with defensive systems, such as Iron Dome and David’s Sling, which protect ten million Jewish, Muslim, and Christian civilians from near-constant missile and drone attacks, whether from Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, or Iraqi militias. Scott believes that Israel, not U.S. taxpayers, should pay the cost of these life-saving defensive systems.”

“The last few years have made it clear that the policies of the Netanyahu government — the death of more than 70,000 Palestinians in Gaza, the use of American weapons in those deaths, increased extremist actions in the West Bank, the war of choice in Iran — has crossed lines that most Americans are not willing to look away from. The United States has a long relationship with Israel, but a real relationship is not based on unconditional support for whatever any foreign government does, any time, without question.”

“Jon Husted has voted 13 times to continue the reckless war in Iran that raised the price of fertilizer and diesel, and he continues to support the tariffs that are hurting farmers.”
