‘Deeply Reckless’: Oregon Members of Congress Decry Trump’s Airstrikes Against Iran

  • On the night of Saturday, June 21, 2025, President Trump directed U.S. forces to carry out airstrikes, in coordination with Israel, targeting key Iranian facilities related to their nuclear program and military operations.
  • The strikes followed Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the 2015 long-term nuclear agreement limiting Tehran's uranium enrichment and lifted sanctions, amid claims Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat.
  • Oregon Democrats condemned the strikes as unconstitutional and reckless, emphasizing that war decisions require congressional approval, while some Republicans praised the action as necessary against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
  • UN inspectors reported uranium enriched up to 83%, near weapons grade, but experts agree the bombings likely did not destroy all fissile material, and Iran maintains its program is peaceful.
  • The strikes have sparked debate over presidential war powers, raising risks of wider regional conflict and demands for diplomacy and congressional oversight amid uncertainty about continued U.S. involvement.
