Sen.Rand Paul (R-Ky.) maintained Tuesday night that any military conflict between the U.S. and Iran that escalates to war must be approved by Congress following anIranian missile attackon an Iraqi air base housing U.S. troops.
“I am praying for the safety of our troops in Iraq tonight. While I would have preferred they come home long ago, there is also no excuse for this action by Iran. We need to stop the escalation before it leads to another endless war in the Middle East,” Paul tweeted Tuesday night.
