Rep. Sara Jacobs warned Saturday of a major “foreign policy blunder” after the United States and Israel launched air strikes on Iran.
“Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran will go down as one of the biggest foreign policy blunders in American history,” said Jacobs, who is a member of the House Armed Services and Foreign Policy committees. “He’s failed to learn from history that the United States has an abysmal track record of success for military adventures in the Middle East.”
“He’s putting our service members and our country at immediate risk for retaliation, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars, and setting us up for another endless war — all for regime change, that in the end will likely backfire,” she said.
Trump called on the Iranian public to “seize control of your destiny” by rising up against the Islamic clerical leadership that has ruled the nation since 1979.
Few official details about the attacks were immediately available, but Israeli TV reported that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may have been killed. Iran responded with missiel attacks on Israel and U.S. bases in the region.
The San Diego-based aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln with 5,000 personnel is among the military assets that converged on the region in recent weeks.
Jacobs said the attack was risky and unnecessary and could involve U.S. troops in a wider war.
“Trump promised to start no new wars, and then he turned around and started a regime change war in Iran,” said Jacobs. “For my generation and my community in San Diego, war isn’t abstract or an out of sight, out of mind issue — it’s real and we pay the human cost of it.”
Trump said on Truth Social that “Operation Epic Fury” could result in American casualties but stressed that “we’re doing this for the future, and it is a noble mission.”
