Josh Turek Releases Statement on Military Action in Iran

Des Moines, IA – In response to U.S. military action in Iran, Josh Turek released the following statement:

“The American people deserve transparency from their government, and the power to declare war rests with Congress. While there is no question the Iranian regime is brutal and repressive, bombing Iran is not the same thing as bringing lasting change to the country. And an attack that could drag the U.S. into a long, costly conflict should not happen without Congressional approval.

“Americans were promised an end to “forever wars” and costly foreign entanglements. This is another example of a betrayal of that promise. Once again, Washington is failing working people by being quicker to send working class kids into combat than do anything to lower costs and make our lives easier.”
