The four Republicans who represent Iowa in the U.S. House have voted against a resolution that would have constrained the military operations President Trump has authorized against Iran. Second District Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Marion says Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.
“First and foremost, I don’t support an endless war and I think most members of congress are in that same boat, but Iran is the world’s number one sponsor of terrorism,” Hinson said, “…and we need to keep those dangers from every reaching our shores.”
Hinson cites the recent security briefing three top Trump Administration officials gave congress about the decision to attack Iran. First District Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa says the mission must remain focused and limited because Americans do not want another forever war, but Miller-Meeks says adopting the war powers resolution would hamstring the Iran operation while pilots are in the air.
