Pete Buttigieg & Robert Garcia join chorus of leaders condemning Donald Trump's 'war of choice' with Iran
"The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day."
"This nation learned the hard way that an unnecessary war, with no plan for what comes next, can lead to years of chaos and put America in still greater danger."
Political leaders across the country have expressed outrage following the United States' launch of large-scale military strikes against Iran. Democratic officials, including former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and California Representative Robert Garcia, are condemning the operation for lacking congressional authorization and a clear post-conflict strategy. Buttigieg, a Navy Reserve veteran who served in Afghanistan, emphasized that the military action was undertaken without proper legal authority and without addressing domestic priorities. He drew parallels to past military interventions that resulted in prolonged chaos. The strikes were announced by President Trump in a 2:30 a.m. video address, where he described them as major combat operations designed to eliminate imminent threats from Iran and prevent nuclear weapons development.
