John, I wanted to
share my thoughts with you on the United States’ military operation in
Iran after I appeared on CNN earlier:

[1]Adam Schiff on CNN, reacting to Trump's airstrikes on Iran

First and foremost, I am grateful for the professionalism and bravery of
our armed forces, and I commend the meticulous planning and execution that
kept servicemembers out of harm’s way during last night’s complex
operation.

Nevertheless, in the absence of evidence that Iran had made the decision
to build a bomb and was constructing the mechanism of a bomb.

And without the approval of Congress, the order to attack Iran’s nuclear
facilities was unconstitutional and should never have been given.

The Iranian regime is a malevolent actor which supports terrorism against
Americans and poses an existential threat to Israel.

But I am aware of no intelligence concluding that Iran’s acquisition of a
bomb was imminent, and that would therefore justify this strike.

We simply do not know what will happen next, and a war with yet another
country in the Middle East is not what Americans want, nor what Congress
has authorized.

The President may declare this will be a one-time operation — but that is
far from guaranteed.

This week, the Administration will finally brief Congress, and we must
demand answers from them on their justification for these strikes, the
intelligence they relied upon, their plan to prevent potential further
escalation and retaliation against U.S. personnel and interests, and how
they expect to reach a diplomatic deal to permanently stop Iran’s nuclear
ambitions.

We must ensure that Donald Trump does not continue to unilaterally put
American lives at risk.

For the sake of the tens of thousands of American servicemembers stationed
across the region, and others who may be mobilized in the future, we must
ensure that Donald Trump cannot unilaterally immerse us in yet another war
without justification to Congress or the American people.

More soon,

Adam
