Just hours before the deciding vote in Congress to continue the war with Iran, Republican candidate for Wisconsin governor Tom Tiffany stated the war needs to end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tiffany, the U.S. congressman for the state\u2019s 7th district, appeared May 14 on the DrydenWire podcast<\/a>. He was asked by Ben Dryden about the ongoing war in Iran.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, so that conflict continues. My position is it\u2019s time to wrap up the war,\u201d Tiffany said. \u201cWe have degraded Iran\u2019s nuclear and military capability. Most of their ships are in the bottom of the sea, and we\u2019ve largely degraded their nuclear capability. It\u2019s time to wrap things up and come back home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dryden then asked Tiffany why some are angry with President Donald Trump and his war effort which has resulted in higher gas prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, I mean, you\u2019d have to ask the man on the street,\u201d Tiffany said. \u201cBut I mean, what I hear from people, It\u2019s, some people are disappointed that there is this conflict that\u2019s going on in Iran and then to have the offshoot of it be the uncertainty that leads to higher gas prices. And people are disappointed in those two things. That\u2019s why people do not, why some people are unhappy with that, but that\u2019s why I say wrap it up.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear when Tiffany recorded the episode but it was posted just hours before he and Congress voted on a bill to roll back Trump\u2019s war powers<\/a>. The vote was 212-212, largely along party lines, and Tiffany voted Nay to the roll back. The Speaker of the House broke the tie also voting to continue the war.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The war began Feb. 28 after the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes on Middle Eastern country, killing several Iranian officials, including the country\u2019s leader. Thousands of Iranians have been killed or wounded and more than a dozen U.S. military personnel have been killed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tiffany\u2019s campaign didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just hours before the deciding vote in Congress to continue the war with Iran, Republican candidate for Wisconsin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[34],"class_list":{"0":"post-116880","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran","8":"tag-iran"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116585221518784510","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
