WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Representative Jason Crow (CO-06) and over 35 lawmakers joined together to demand answers on the White House's decision to undertake the operation against Qasem Soleimani and the national security strategy towards curbing Iran's aggression and nuclear ambitions.

Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06), an Army combat veteran and member of the House Armed Services Committee, issued the following statement on the airstrike at the Baghdad International Airport which killed Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani:

"The question is not whether Qasem Soleimani was a threat to the United States, the question is whether President Trump has a strategy in place to deal with the potentially seismic events that he has unleashed. My time serving as a paratrooper in Iraq taught me that using force without a strategy and clearly defined goals rarely ends well.
