Washington, March 1 (NationPress) Former Vice President Kamala Harris has strongly condemned President Donald Trump for the recent US military strikes on Iran, asserting that he is leading the nation into “a war the American public does not desire.” She characterized the military actions as both reckless and unwarranted.

“Donald Trump is pulling the United States into a conflict that the American populace does not want. I want to be unequivocal: I oppose any war aimed at regime change in Iran, and our troops are being unnecessarily endangered due to Trump's unilateral decision,” Harris stated.

These comments followed US military actions targeting Iranian positions, which coincided with escalating tensions in the area. Notably, these strikes resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader.

Harris cautioned that the ongoing conflict could come with severe consequences. “The President has indicated that this conflict may lead to American fatalities. Doug and I will be praying for our courageous servicemen and women, who are undertaking perilous missions with exceptional skill and discipline,” she remarked.

She emphasized that US soldiers “deserve a Commander-in-Chief who approaches decisions about war and peace with the same steadiness and discipline that our troops exhibit daily.”

The former vice president described the military initiative as “a perilous and unnecessary risk with American lives that also threatens regional stability and our global reputation.”

“What we are witnessing is not strength; it is recklessness masquerading as determination,” she expressed.

While recognizing the danger posed by Tehran, Harris insisted that escalation is not the solution. “I am aware of the threat that Iran represents, and they must never be permitted to acquire nuclear weapons, but this approach will not dismantle that threat,” she asserted.

Harris also called into question Trump’s previous statements. “During his campaign, Donald Trump vowed to end wars, not initiate them. That was a false promise. Last year, he claimed, ‘we obliterated Iran’s nuclear program.’ That, too, was untrue,” she noted.

Regarding constitutional authority, she asserted: “According to the United States Constitution, the President requires Congress's authorization to engage in war.”

“However, even if he had such authorization, it does not alter the fact that this action is ill-advised, unjustified, and unendorsed by the American people,” she added.

“There must be no hesitation in our opposition to Donald Trump’s conflict of choice, and Congress needs to utilize all available means to prevent him from further entrenching us in this war. Our troops, our allies, and the American citizens deserve nothing less.”
