Sanders, Welch Push Trump to Avoid Going to War with Iran
- Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Peter Welch urged President Trump on June 16, 2025, to avoid war with Iran following Israel's recent airstrikes on Iran's military and nuclear sites.
- This call followed Israel's surprise attack on Iran’s nuclear program and Sanders’ legislative move to block federal funding for unauthorized military action against Iran without Congress approval.
- Sanders condemned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for deliberately sabotaging diplomacy by launching the strike, noting Netanyahu’s past support for the Iraq War which caused extensive U.S. casualties and costs.
- Sanders emphasized that the U.S. should avoid participation in Netanyahu's conflict with Iran, while Trump cautioned Tehran to restrain its nuclear program but stopped short of confirming any American military action.
- The legislation Sanders leads includes a self-defense exception and aims to prevent escalation, underscoring concerns that Netanyahu’s unauthorized attack escalates regional tensions and global insecurity.
