 U.S. Representative Mike Johnson (LA-04) released the following statement after voting against a partisan resolution to prevent President Trump from responding to additional acts of war by Iran:

“In the past two weeks, Iran and its proxies have killed an American citizen, targeted U.S. forces and attacked the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad – all clearly defined acts of war. By taking decisive action, President Trump has managed to de-escalate this crisis and deliver peace through American strength. Today, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats voted to undermine that delicate peace and give Iran an open invitation to escalate their attacks by granting them near-immunity from swift American retaliation. This overly-restrictive resolution is counterproductive, dangerous and unprecedented in the aftermath of an act of war against the United States. These bad faith political games have to end. The safety and security of our nation are at stake.”
