Rep. Grijalva Statement on House Passage of Iran War Powers Resolution

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Adelita S. Grijalva released the below statement following the passage of the Iran War Powers resolution directing President Trump to cease unauthorized military hostilities in Iran:

“Trump’s illegal and reckless war in Iran has already cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars and claimed the lives of 13 servicemembers. At a time when families are struggling to afford groceries, gas, rent, and healthcare, Trump has chosen to pour billions of taxpayer dollars on yet another endless war while driving up costs for families here at home."

"More than three months after Trump launched this conflict, we are no closer to peace, no closer to greater security, and no closer to preventing a nuclear Iran. This war has been an absolute failure from the start, which is why House Republicans are beginning to join Democrats in demanding an end to it. The American people are tired of footing the bill for endless wars while their own costs keep rising.”
