•HJ 58 IH 
(2) President George Washington, in a letter to 
William Moultrie dated August 28, 1793, wrote that 
‘‘[t]he constitution vests the power of declaring war 
in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of im-
portance can be undertaken until after they shall 
have deliberated upon the subject and authorized 
such a measure’’. 
(3) Alexander Hamilton wrote in Examination 
Number 1 of the Hamilton Papers, dated December 
17, 1801, that ‘‘ ‘[t]he Congress shall have the 
power to declare war’; the plain meaning of which is, 
that it is the peculiar and exclusive duty of Con-
gress, when the nation is at peace, to change that 
state into a state of war’’. 
(4) Iran is the leading state sponsor of ter-
rorism in the Middle East and a pernicious trouble-
maker in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
(5) Missile tests by Iran have led to escalating 
tensions with Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United 
States, and the United Nations. 
(6) Iran has threatened to shutdown crucial 
maritime lines of communication, putting United 
States and international naval assets, as well as 
global energy assets, at risk.

(7) Since 1979, Iran has been ruled by Islamic 
theocrats who use the Quran to justify the suppres-
sion of domestic political freedom and the denial of 
civil and human rights. 
(8) A war with Iran would also endanger 
United States assets, personnel, and foreign policy 
objectives throughout the region, including in Iraq, 
Afghanistan, and Israel. 
(9) On June 22, 2018, President Trump 
tweeted that Iran ‘‘[w]ill suffer consequences the 
likes of which few throughout history have ever suf-
fered before’’. 
(10) A May 5, 2019, statement from National 
Security Advisor Ambassador John Bolton said that 
any attack on America or its allies, by Iran or its 
proxies, ‘‘will be met with unrelenting force’’. 
(11) Loose talk of war and belligerent rhetoric 
increases the risk of miscalculation by either side 
and unsettles United States allies.
