The Trump Admin. launched an unsuccessful attack against a 2nd senior Iranian official in #Yemen on the same night Soleimani was killed. Congress has not been briefed (not even at the classified briefing this week!). No justification has been provided.
The coordinated nature of these attacks raises further questions about the claim that Trump was reacting to an “imminent threat.” If these were part of a broader operation, then the failure to consult Congress is inexcusable. The American people need answers. #NoWarWithIran
This strike is also an escalation of U.S. involvement in Saudi Arabia’s war in #Yemen. The Pentagon has previously avoided direct involvement & last year the House & Senate passed a bipartisan resolution to end U.S. participation, which Trump vetoed. nytimes.com/2019/04/16/us/…
Trump has recklessly escalated tensions in the region & lied to Congress & the public. We entered a war based on a lie in 2003 and we’re still dealing with the consequences. We can’t let it happen again. The American people don’t want more #EndlessWars!
