here<\/a>. An excerpt is below.<\/p>\n\u201cFor more than 15 weeks, the Administration left Congress and the American people in the dark about a war of choice that has proved to be a strategic failure and inflicted real costs on Americans. Since February 28, 14 service members have been killed, hundreds wounded, critical U.S. assets in the region have been damaged, U.S. munition stockpiles have been depleted, regional partners have suffered the brunt of Iranian retaliation, and global prices of food, oil, and material goods skyrocketed for months while the Strait of Hormuz remained closed. Although President Trump has repeatedly declared the war is over, the Administration has refused to testify publicly or provide the American people with the answers they deserve.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we welcome the Administration\u2019s turn toward diplomacy and its decision to end this war of choice, the Administration must provide Congress with greater details about the MoU, any side agreements, and the Administration’s plan and strategy for the 60-day ceasefire period; including its approach to sanctions relief, Iran\u2019s nuclear program, and reported economic and reconstruction funds. On all these questions, the Administration has already repeatedly contradicted itself while asking the American people to trust the contents of an agreement that hasn\u2019t been made available to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
