The congresswoman and Iraq War veteran said the strike killing Iranian general Qassem Soleimani has endangered U.S. national security.
In expressing her opinions on a possible conflict between the U.S. and Iran, Gabbard joined other politicians as well as pundits who have offered their view on what might occur after the U.S. killing of Qassem Soleimani. The Iranian general was considered to be the nation's second most powerful figure, after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
However, Trump has said the strike was a preventive measure and will decrease the likelihood of a future conflict instead of creating one. The commander in chief has no military experience—Trump was able to secure a medical deferment from the draft during the Vietnam War. Gabbard, on the other hand, is a combat veteran. She was a major in the Hawaii National Guard during the Iraq War and served a 12-month tour in that country from 2004 to 2005.
