Congresswoman Escobar Statement on Military Operation in Iran
Washington, DC,
February 28, 2026
Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (TX-16) released the following statement: "In June of last year, the Trump administration declared to the world that Iran’s nuclear program was 'completely and totally obliterated.' "Either the Trump administration lied then or is lying now when they claim our country faces an imminent threat. Because the president and members of his administration so readily and easily lied to the American public, they cannot ever be taken at their word.
"And now Donald Trump has launched a massive military operation, risking a prolonged war and endangering our troops.
"Americans do not want war.
"Americans want a government that focuses on our spiraling debt, escalating costs, and a deteriorating quality of life in our own country. Speaker Johnson must immediately call the House back so we can vote on the Iran war powers resolution and stop this war."
