AOC Supports Massie’s ‘War Powers Resolution’ To Bar US From Israel-Iran War

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has expressed support for a bipartisan War Powers Resolution led by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, which aims to block U.S. military involvement in a potential war between Israel and Iran. Massie emphasized that the Constitution mandates congressional approval for war, while Khanna framed the resolution as a test of whether lawmakers stand with the public or “the neocons who led us into Iraq.” Reps. Rashida Tlaib and AOC echoed their support, citing past U.S. military misadventures.

Opposing the resolution, GOP Rep. Mike Lawler warned of Iran’s threat to Israel and the risk of a broader global conflict. Meanwhile, Sen. Tim Kaine introduced a parallel Senate resolution to prohibit unauthorized military action against Iran, emphasizing the need for congressional oversight to avoid another “forever war.”

Amid escalating tensions, former President Donald Trump, returning from the G7 summit, dismissed cease-fire efforts between Israel and Iran. He instead suggested he was pursuing a “real end” to the conflict, signaling potentially broader ambitions for U.S. involvement or resolution.
