You Must Act Now: Russia Helping Iran Target Americans

To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Carter, Sen. Cruz, Pres. Trump

From: A constituent in Leander, TX

March 8

This message is simple: do your job and investigate immediately. Credible reporting citing U.S. officials indicates that the government of Vladimir Putin has provided Iran with intelligence that could help identify and target American military assets in the Middle East—including information about U.S. ships, aircraft, and operational positions. If true, that means a nuclear-armed adversary of the United States may be helping a hostile regime target American service members. Yet instead of responding with outrage, deterrence, and accountability, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, publicly downplayed the reports and minimized their significance. Why is the Commander-in-Chief dismissing intelligence that could involve a foreign adversary assisting attacks on Americans? Why has there been no immediate congressional investigation? This is not partisan. It is about whether U.S. national security is being taken seriously while American troops remain in harm’s way. Congress must immediately: • Launch a full investigation through the Intelligence and Armed Services Committees • Demand classified briefings on Russia’s reported intelligence-sharing with Iran • Subpoena relevant intelligence assessments and communications • Require sworn testimony from administration officials If Russia is providing intelligence that helps Iran target American forces, that is an extraordinary escalation that demands accountability at the highest levels. The American people deserve answers. Your oath is to the Constitution and the security of this country—not to political convenience or silence in the face of danger. Investigate this now.
