Most Of Oregon's Congressional Delegation Condemn Suleimani Assassination

Most members of Oregon's congressional delegation released statements Friday condemning President Donald Trump's decision to assassinate Iranian general Qassim Suleimani.

"The President and his national security team have not articulated a long-term strategy. They have neither justified the risky and inflammatory action they have already taken nor demonstrated that they are pursuing the best course of action to keep our troops and our country safe," Bonamici said in a statement.

"A great strength of the United States is the ability to show restraint when provoked," she said. "I urge the President to stop escalating this confrontation with Iran and avoid starting another futile war that Congress has not authorized."
