Rep. Rashid on the US Bombing in Iran

BERWYN, Ill – Rep. Abelnasser Rashid (D-Bridgeview) issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s attack on Iran: 

“Trump is proving yet again how dangerous and unhinged he is on a world stage. He has allowed Israel to drag Americans into a war we don’t want. His decision to bomb Iran is unlawful, immoral, and incredibly destabilizing. Trump is playing with the lives of innocent Iranians, American service people, and the rest of us.

“I join in the bipartisan condemnation of Trump’s illegal escalation to war. Israel’s leaders have been urging him to bomb Iran. He should have said no. The American people have no appetite to go into another disastrous war in the Middle East.” — Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid
