Rep. Nathaniel Moran said he supports ending the war with Iran but also backed U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and argued military pressure may need to continue. He declined to set a timeline for when Congress should intervene.
In an interview with KETK, Moran said he supports bringing the conflict with Iran to an end, but believes it should be done through continued military strength. He also defended U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear program, saying they had set Iran’s program back and that pressure could give the Iranian people a chance to make their own decisions.
Asked when Congress should intervene to stop the war, Moran declined to give a fixed timeline, saying the decision should depend on the facts at the time. He described President Donald Trump’s goal as winding down the military action and returning focus to domestic issues.
