I am writing to demand immediate scrutiny and full congressional investigation into the reported plans for a potential sale of F-35 aircraft to Saudi Arabia. This is not a routine arms transaction. This is a high-stakes decision with enormous implications for U.S. national security, regional stability, and America’s credibility on the world stage. The F-35 is the most advanced fighter system in our arsenal. It represents the apex of American military technology, intelligence capabilities, and strategic advantage. Handing this platform to any foreign government—especially one with a deeply troubling human rights record, a history of reckless military action in Yemen, and ongoing involvement in destabilizing activities—requires nothing less than maximal oversight and ironclad justification. Congress must ask: Why now? Why this system? And why Saudi Arabia, a nation whose actions have repeatedly contradicted U.S. values and long-term interests? The American people deserve answers before decisions are made behind closed doors, before strategic leverage is given away, and before we risk empowering a government with a documented record of civilian harm, political repression, and opaque security operations. Any proposed sale of F-35s demands transparent hearings, rigorous analysis of regional risks, and clear evidence that such a transfer strengthens—rather than jeopardizes—U.S. national security. Silence is not oversight. Congress must step in, assert its authority, and require accountability. The stakes are too high for rubber-stamping, complacency, or political expediency. I urge you to launch a formal investigation immediately and ensure the American public is not left in the dark about a decision of this magnitude.
