House Intel Democrat questions US Iran action
Congressman Jim Himes, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on Tuesday that he is deeply concerned about possible US military action related to Iran, warning there is no clear justification for launching another conflict in the Middle East at this time.
“I'm very concerned. Wars in the Middle East don't go well for presidents, for the country, and we have not heard articulated a single good reason for why now is the moment to launch yet another war in the Middle East,” Himes said after a briefing with Senator Marco Rubio and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, according to journalist Laura Rozen in a post on X.
