Quigley Statement on Trump’s Unilateral Actions in the Middle East

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement:

“Donald Trump was elected to end wars, not start new ones. Now, he has involved our nation in a conflict the vast majority of Americans do not wish to be part of. Worse, he is putting our servicemembers in the region in grave danger and increasing the likelihood of an attack on U.S. soil.

“Iran is one of the largest state sponsors of terrorism in the world, and I believe preventing them from developing a nuclear weapon is critical to global security. The way to accomplish this goal is through diplomacy.”
