The US has a shifting list of priorities vis-a-vis Iran. If it is to ensure Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon, we already had that with the JCPOA with which Iran was in compliance before Trump abrogated the agreement in his first term. Trump said he didn't like the deal ... but then replaced it with nothing. Just doing stuff hoping that something will change and we can declare victory is idiotic. If we're going to have a war with Iran, Congress needs to declare war. If not, we're wasting a good deal of money and blood pursuing an ill-defined path to no one seems to know what. These are real dead Americans, someone's kids, spouses, parents, to say nothing of the money. The American people deserve to know what the hell is going on, what the objectives are, and what the plan is.
If you're voting "yes," where's the line, does it hold even if it slams Iranian workers harder than the regime itself?
