Senator Ruben Gallego condemned the action as “illegal”.
“I lost friends in Iraq to an illegal war,” he wrote on social media. “Young working-class kids should not pay the ultimate price for regime change and a war that hasn’t been explained or justified to the American people. We can support the democracy movement and the Iranian people without sending our troops to die.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/28/iran-attack-us-political-reaction Sen Mark Kelly: "Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job." https://bsky.app/profile/captmarkkelly.bsky.social/post/3mfxdwwo3id2z |
