President Trump's threats to obliterate Iranian oil facilities and seize the Strait of Hormuz are pushing us toward economic catastrophe. I need you to publicly oppose further military escalation and demand congressional authorization before any expansion of this conflict. This administration has no coherent strategy. Trump claims a deal is coming, then threatens to obliterate Iranian infrastructure the next day. Patrick Pouyanné of Total warned that if this lasts more than four months, it becomes a systemic problem for the world. Even if fighting stopped today, Andy Lipow says supply disruptions would continue for months while damaged facilities are repaired. Congress has the constitutional authority to declare war. Use it. Hold this president accountable for his reckless gambles with our economic security and demand answers before another dollar is spent on this conflict.
