Block any ground troop deployment in Iran — and make clear that seizing Kharg Island would be an act of full-scale war with no congressional authorization. The Pentagon has already deployed two Marine expeditionary units and the 82nd Airborne to the region. That's not a defensive posture. That's a staging ground. Sixty-eight percent of Americans oppose sending ground troops into Iran, including 48% of Republicans. This war already has less public support than Iraq did in 2014. Thirteen American soldiers are dead, and the administration is now floating the seizure of Iran's primary oil export hub. That escalation would be catastrophic and irreversible. Your constituents are watching how you respond — silence is a vote for escalation.
