NO MORE MIDDLE EAST WARS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 37 (Wednesday, February 25, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 37 (Wednesday, February 25, 2026)] [House] [Page H2309] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] NO MORE MIDDLE EAST WARS (Mr. KHANNA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, another war in the Middle East is not America First. That is why Congressman Massie and I will introduce a bipartisan Iran war powers resolution. America First means Congress first on matters of war and peace. Every Member in this body must go on the record about whether we should have another endless war in the Middle East. The American people are sick of billions of dollars going for overseas wars. They want that money for manufacturing jobs here, for healthcare here, for childcare here, and for education here. There is no doubt the Iranian regime is brutal in killing protestors and murdering their own people, but an American war will only inflame nationalism and will not prevent them from getting the bomb. We need a better approach. We need to focus on our country's economic development. ____________________
