Ranking Member Shaheen Statement on President Trump's Declaration that Iran War is 'Terminated'

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the below statement after President Trump declared hostilities with Iran 'terminated':

"President Trump declaring the war with Iran 'terminated' doesn't reflect the reality that tens of thousands of U.S. service members in the region are still in harm's way, that the Administration continually threatens to escalate hostilities or that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and prices are skyrocketing at home. President Trump entered this war without a strategy and without legal authorization and today's announcement doesn't change either fact."
