Because he needed to obliterate Obama’s successes, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal that prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons—with which Iran was complying. To force Iran to accept harsher conditions, Trump’s “maximum pressure campaign” included:

• Imposing sanctions that badly damaged Iran’s economy
• Designating part of Iran’s military as a foreign terrorist organization

In response, Iran threatened to (1) back out of its commitments to the nuclear deal and (2) prevent oil tankers from passing through Strait of Hormuz.

Recently, the Trump regime escalated hawkish rhetoric towards Iran, creating fear that Trump is trying to push Iran into war:

• Additional troops deployed to the Middle East to send Iran a “clear and unmistakable message”
• Immediately claimed Iran responsible for attacks on two oil tankers off Iran’s coast —without conducting a thorough investigation and relying on facts the ship’s crew rejected

• Suggested a military strike as one possible option that could be carried out without Congressional approval under 2001 Authorization of Military Force (AUMF)

To keep us out of a catastrophic war, Congress must immediately reassert Article I constitutional authority that was handed over to the Executive after 911 to:

• Prohibit unauthorized use of funds for military operations against Iran (H.R.2354 / S.1039)
• Repeal all AUMFs

Demand Congress Assert
