Why Congress Should Block Funding for War With Iran

Congress may soon consider a supplemental spending bill of more than $200 billion to fund U.S. military operations against Iran. This legislation would deepen military engagement, increase the risk of a prolonged conflict, and could draw in U.S. ground forces. Lawmakers should reject any supplemental funding for this illegal war.

No Funding for War with Iran

Legislative Ask

Congress may soon consider a supplemental funding bill that could provide $50 billion or more to expand U.S. military operations against Iran. These unauthorized strikes are already costing American taxpayers more than $1 billion per day. Lawmakers must reject this request to fund an illegal war that has cost innocent lives and is threatening global stability.

60+ National Ecumenical Organizations Urge Congress To Oppose Iran War Funding

A broad coalition of Christian and ecumenical faith organizations is calling on Congress to oppose any supplemental appropriations that would fund a war with Iran. In a joint letter signed by communions, ministries, and organizations representing multiple traditions, faith leaders warn that approving billions in additional military funding would prolong an unauthorized and dangerous conflict while placing civilians and U.S. service members at greater risk.
