Senator Baldwin Statement on U.S. Strikes in Iran
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) released the following statement in response to President Trump’s attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities:
“I have been clear-eyed that Iran is a threat to the safety of people across the world and cannot have a nuclear weapon, and that’s exactly why I was proud to support the 2015 deal that restricted Iran’s nuclear capability. But, President Trump’s reckless decision to leave that deal allowed Iran’s nuclear program to flourish and got us into this whole situation.
President Trump’s bombing of Iran without Congress’s approval ignores the Constitution, is putting our men and women in uniform at grave risk, and puts us on the verge of an all-out war. President Trump owes the American people some answers on why he thinks he can flout the law and what the path forward is to find a peaceful solution. We should be learning lessons from our war in Iraq and what it means to engulf us in a conflict across the globe. I did not support that war, and I don’t support this one.
Diplomacy, not war, is the answer here. I stand with the people of Wisconsin who do not want to get into another war in the Middle East and put service members at risk. This administration must choose to do the hard work and come to the table to negotiate in good faith with Iran to rein in their nuclear program.”NOTE: This press release was submitted to Urban Milwaukee and was not written by an Urban Milwaukee writer.

You can’t have it both ways. Being against the strike against Iran goes against your taking AIPAC donations and crowing about the right wing government of Israel’s “right to defend itself”.
What a leap Duane makes. Baldwin’s press release is about the US attack on Iran. She makes no mention of Israel.
It is both possible and reasonable to support Israel’s right to exist AND not support Netanyahu’s war mongering. In fact, it is reasonable to support both Israel’s right to exist and a homeland for Palestinians.
This is a good press release.
Thank you Sen. Baldwin, you ran all bases, hitting every point perfectly. It was negligent to leave the Iran treaty without an alternate in place. Congress must reclaim its war powers, this President is reckless and is not grounded in reality. Peace now.
