I’m on the floor of the Senate to discuss why the United States must end its involvement in the devastating Saudi-led war in Yemen.

1. Iranian-led war.

Someone is missing the bigger picture.

3. Exactly

You can't expect Saudi to do nothing when Iranian irbm's & drones fly over the border

Today, I withdrew from consideration by the U.S. Senate my War Powers Resolution after the Biden administration agreed to continue working with my office on ending the war in Yemen.

7. No surprise as the bill had little support, including opposition from President Biden,

which is unsurprising--as it failed to address the key problem of this being an Iranian-backed war.

One might expect the Senator would be aware of that.

Let me be clear. If we do not reach agreement, I will, along with my colleagues, bring this resolution back for a vote in the near future and do everything possible to end this horrific conflict.

6. I'm not sure why he thinks the US not helping Saudi would stop the war

The war will go on as long as Iran keeps funding and shipping weapons to the rebels and Saudi has enough money to buy weapons from many other countries.

8. Exactly.
