US Senator Sanders: War with Iran is illegal

US Senator Bernie Sanders stated that his country's war against Iran is "illegal and unconstitutional" and that Democrats should not only submit draft resolutions to stop the war, but also cut the resources allocated to the war.

In his interview with CNN, Sanders evaluated the policies that Democrats, who were successful in the US midterm elections on November 3, should follow in the coming period.

Speaking about the US war with Iran, Sanders said, "What Democrats can do is stop the war. We can do this not only by passing resolutions, but by cutting the funds allocated to the war." he said.

"This war is illegal and unconstitutional," Sanders said. He stated that 19 American soldiers lost their lives in the war and thousands of innocent women, men and children died in Iran and neighboring countries.

Stating that the war cost the USA hundreds of billions of dollars, Sanders noted that the prices of gasoline and other basic necessities increased significantly.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani also stated in his evaluation in the same program that the election results reflect the public's reaction to the current political order.

Mamdani stated that he was tired of being constantly ignored by politicians because the needs of the working people were unrealistic, and noted that although the political views of the candidates were different, they offered solutions to the problems experienced by the working people in the election campaigns.
