Members of Alabama’s Congressional delegation have released their reaction to the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-1st District):

“I stand with President Trump. God bless him and our brave service members. Praying for peace.”

U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (D-7th District):

“The Constitution is clear. Only Congress has the power to declare war. President Trump’s unilateral military action in Iran, without congressional approval, is unconstitutional. It puts U.S. forces and our diplomatic personnel in peril, and brings us dangerously close to all out war in the Middle East. The Trump Administration must immediately brief Congress and take steps to prevent further escalation of this conflict.”

U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-6th District):

“I fully support President Trump’s decision to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities. This decision was forced upon us by the refusal of the Iranian leadership to accept the reality that the U.S. would never allow them to have a nuclear weapon. With this action, American resolve to eliminate any and all threats against our country and our allies was put on full display.”
