WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) and Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (D-CA), Founders and Co-Chairs of the Protection of Civilians in Conflict Caucus, and Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), the first Democratic Iranian-American Member of Congress, received an unsatisfactory response from the Department of Defense after they demanded answers on the U.S. military strike on a girls elementary school in Iran:
The Members released the following statement:

President Donald Trump’s threat to blow up Iranian power plants and bridges — in his own words, to send the country “back to the Stone Ages” — is facing stiff pushback from Democrats, who are warning the commander-in-chief is on the precipice of committing war crimes.
Republicans, by contrast, hardly see a problem at all.
The president’s threat came Easter morning, when — in an expletive-laced post — Trump indicated he was prepared to order the U.S. military to blow up key infrastructure across Iran starting Tuesday.
“Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell,” the president wrote.

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO), a former Army Ranger and Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, pressed top Trump intelligence and national security officials over the rationale behind the President’s war of choice with Iran. Testifying before the Intelligence Committee at its annual Worldwide Threats hearing were Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Kash Patel, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe, Acting Director of the National Security Agency Lt. Gen. William Hartman, and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Lt. Gen.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday again dodged questions on whether Iran posed an "imminent threat" to the U.S., repeating her view that only President Donald Trump can make that determination.
Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel and other national security officials sat for a second day of testimony on worldwide threats, this time before the House Intelligence Committee.
