Nearly every day the past 100 days, Trump has claimed a peace deal w/ Iran was "imminent." Today: new airstrikes, still no deal. Our troops are risking their lives, and Americans are bearing the costs of a conflict they did not want and have gained nothing from. Trump’s war must end.

Every military officer knows ‘hope’ is not a plan. But Pres. Trump took our nation to war with Iran without a plan, hoping for the best.
2 months later: Strait of Hormuz is still closed, costs are skyrocketing, & Trump can’t explain how this war ends.
Americans deserve an answer.

Sen. Jack Reed responds to Secretary Hegseth’s claim that the administration doesn’t need congressional authorization to continue the war in Iran past 60 days due to the current ceasefire.
“The language of the statutes does not provide for timeouts like in a football game. From the day you begin, 60 days, the president has to comply with the law.”

Americans are paying the price of a war they never wanted and have gained nothing from. After 60 days of war, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, gas prices are sky high, & our military has suffered significant costs. Pres. Trump owes the American people answers & a plan.

Americans are paying a steep price for Pres. Trump’s reckless and repeated mistakes in Iran. It is past time he seriously pursues a diplomatic, not military, solution to the war. Democrats will continue working to responsibly end Trump’s war abroad & lower costs at home.

Pres. Trump has an incoherent strategy in Iran. The American people & our servicemembers deserve better. I’m fighting to bring Trump’s misguided & reckless war in the Middle East to an end.

We are so grateful that U.S. forces successfully rescued both the pilot & weapon systems officer of the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran.

Pres. Trump’s national security advisers warned him that attacking Iran could shut down the Strait of Hormuz. He did it anyway. Now the White House is scrambling to reopen it while our economy takes a hit, oil prices surge, and Trump's war expands.

Pres. Trump recklessly took our nation to war without consent from Congress or the American people. Now, GOP Senators must join us in demanding answers & accountability. Our troops deserve clarity & Americans deserve to know what this war is truly costing them in blood & treasure.

PASSED: Bipartisan #NDAA strengthens readiness, increases pay for our troops, improves Congressional oversight on the administration, boosts quality of life for servicemember families, & brings more good-paying jobs to RI. I urge the President to swiftly sign the bill into law.
