Statement by Congressman Dan Kildee on Iranian Rocket Attack on U.S. Personnel

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05), Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus, issued the following statement after an Iranian missile attack on American service members in Iraq:

"I am closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East after Iran targeted American troops with missile attacks. My thoughts are with our brave American service members serving in harm's way. Ensuring the safety of American service members and citizens must be our immediate and top priority.

"The President's increasingly confrontational approach with Iran is escalating this already grave situation. It is my hope that this situation does not escalate further, which would put more American lives at risk. The President owes the American people a plan on how he plans to prevent this conflict from spiraling out of control."
