Tell the Senate: Stop Trump's War with Iran

Trump’s war with Iran is escalating by the day — and he is now threatening to hit Iran "VERY HARD TONIGHT" and seize control of the country's oil infrastructure.

Over the past few days, U.S. and Iranian forces have traded new strikes, raising the risk of a wider regional war that could endanger U.S. troops, civilians across the Middle East, and families already struggling with rising prices here at home.

Congress has a constitutional responsibility to decide whether this country goes to war. Trump does not get to launch and expand hostilities on his own, then demand that lawmakers rubber-stamp the consequences after the fact.

The House has already passed a War Powers resolution to rein in Trump’s unauthorized war. The Senate has already advanced a related measure in a procedural vote. Even some Republicans are losing patience with Trump’s shifting explanations and reckless escalation. Now the Senate must finish the job.

Tell the U.S. Senate: vote to end Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran and reassert Congress’s constitutional war powers now.

This is exactly why the War Powers Resolution exists. Presidents should not be able to drag the country into open-ended conflict without public debate, congressional authorization, or a clear plan to bring troops home.

Every day the Senate delays, the danger grows. More strikes mean more chances for miscalculation. More military deployments mean more families waiting to learn whether their loved ones will be sent into harm’s way. And every new escalation makes diplomacy harder.

The Senate has the power to force this debate, pass a War Powers resolution, and make clear that Trump cannot wage war without Congress. Public pressure can help stiffen spines, expose lawmakers who enable escalation, and push wavering senators to act before this conflict spirals further out of control.

Add your name now and demand the Senate stop Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran.

The petition to the U.S. Senate reads:

"Pass a War Powers resolution to end Donald Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran. Reassert Congress’s constitutional authority, block further escalation, and demand diplomacy instead of another catastrophic war."
