‘No war with Iran,’ Democratic lawmaker says
Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna has added his voice to a small but growing list of US lawmakers warning against military action against Iran.
Khanna, who represents California’s 17th congressional district in the House of Representatives, said on X he would support a resolution requiring Trump to receive congressional approval before entering Israel’s conflict with Iran.
Republican Representative Thomas Massie said earlier that he would introduce the War Powers Resolution on Tuesday.
A number of other lawmakers, including Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and independent Senator Bernie Sanders, have also expressed their opposition to US involvement in the conflict.
No war in Iran.
It's time for every member to go on record.
Are you with the neocons who led us into Iraq or do you stand with the American people?
I am proud to co-lead this bipartisan War Powers Resolution with Rep. Massie that is privileged and must receive a vote. https://t.co/aCbwOiDiHI

Genocide 7 supports Israel:
https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2025/06/16/g7-leaders-statement-on-recent-developments-between-israel-and-iran
We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East.
In this context, we affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel.
We also affirm the importance of the protection of civilians.
Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror.
We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.
We will remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.
Self-defense is the new declaration of war.
There would be no Iranian crisis if you had stopped the genocide instead of supporting Netanyahu.
