Grijalva Statement on U.S.-Iran Agreement | 2026-06-18 | 2026 | 2026-06 | Democrat | House | AZ | Adelita S. Grijalva | G000606 | grijalva.house.gov | grijalva | https://grijalva.house.gov/media | scraper | “While I am relieved to see hostilities come to an end, at least temporarily, one fundamental question remains: Why did we go to war with Iran in the first place? This conflict claimed the lives of 13 U.S. service members, killed thousands of civilians including innocent children, cost tens of billions of dollars, and inflicted economic pain on families across the country.” “Yet after all of that sacrifice and destruction, we are left worse off than when this conflict began. The world is less stable, and we are in a far weaker position to negotiate a lasting agreement that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon than we were under the 2015 Obama Iran deal that Trump withdrew from. This conflict was an unnecessary and profound failure. Americans should remember that Trump cannot be trusted to keep his word. Congress must reassert its power to ensure stability and diplomacy instead of engaging in reckless wars.” | 1 | 2026-06-19T06:50:32Z | 2026-06-19T06:53:40Z |
