Friend, In the days since Trump ordered a drone strike on Qassem Soleimani, he has only exacerbated what was already a crisis. Trump all but declared war on Twitter. He threatened to commit war crimes, vowing to target Iranian cultural heritage sites if Iran strikes back. He has no plan to deal with this disaster of his own making. Ilhan is doing everything in her power to prevent another disastrous war. This week, she introduced a resolution to stop the military from taking action against Iran without congressional authorization.
Thank you for speaking out for a more peaceful world, Team Ilhan

Subject: Add your name: Congress must stop Trump from starting a war in Iran!
 Friend, Let this sink in: Donald Trump recklessly assassinated a foreign official and has no plan to deal with the consequences. We don’t know for sure if he’ll start a war in Iran. But we do know that he wants war, knows his actions could spark war, and could use the distraction from his impeachment scandal. It’s my constitutional duty to intervene when a president tries to overstep congressional authority. I will use the full power of my office to stop him — and I’m calling on my colleagues to do the same.
There’s no doubt that Qasem Soleimani was a violent, murderous man. But instead of exploring different approaches to the conflict, Trump ordered an airstrike without congressional approval. We are currently engaged in a number of wars that have no end in sight. We can’t afford to enter another war that destabilizes regions, creates massive humanitarian crises, and further undermines our moral authority around the world.
Thank you for standing with me. Together, we’re going to bring peace around the world. In solidarity, Ilhan Omar
