(snip)

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement that the “U.S. must not rush into war with Iran.” She called on Trump to “de-escalate” tensions with the country and warned that up to 40,000 American service members stationed in the region were now at greater risk.

Shaheen also called on the Trump administration to provide more information to Congress about its actions and what may come next. That was echoed by Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan, who said that lawmakers need more information about what intelligence the U.S. may have about Iran’s nuclear program.

“Why did we abandon diplomacy that could have blocked Iran from a nuclear weapon without the risks and costs to the American people of direct military action?” Goodlander posted on X.

Early Monday, Goodlander, who served in the U.S. Navy Reserves, signed onto a letter with other congressional veterans calling for a vote on granting the president war powers against Iran.
