Summary
Nathaniel Moran said he supports ending the Iran war but argued the U.S. may need to keep fighting for some time to achieve that goal.
The Texas Republican said he backed U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear program because Tehran’s weapons development was imminent and the strikes set it back years.
Moran urged Washington to keep Iran “boxed in” so internal pressure can give Iranians a chance to shape their own future.
Asked when Congress should step in, Moran refused to name a deadline, saying any War Powers decision should depend on facts as the conflict evolves.
He said Trump’s intent is still to unwind military action, bring U.S. forces home and refocus on domestic issues even if the path to that outcome remains prolonged.
