Durbin Statement on President Trump's Strikes Against Three Iranian Nuclear Sites

CHICAGO – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement after President Donald Trump announced that the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites in Iran:  

“During his first term, President Trump killed the Iran nuclear deal, which required mandatory inspections, and invited this dangerous situation. Iran without inspectors appears to have been developing dangerous weapons grade materials.  

“And now, President Trump’s actions in bombing Iran puts the U.S. on the brink of a wider war in the Middle East, all without Constitutionally-required Congressional approval. Our recent experiences in Iraq should be a stark reminder of becoming embroiled in wars in the Middle East.”
