Republicans in the US House of Representatives have introduced a measure that would green-light a possible Israeli bombing campaign against Iran.

Resolution 1553 provides explicit support for military strikes against Iran, stating that Congress backs Israel's use of 'all means necessary' against Iran, "including the use of military force," BBC Persian reported.

The introduction of the measure coincides with a pattern of renewed calls for military strikes that have escalated since President Obama signed Congressional Iran sanctions into law.

Neoconservatives who were instrumental in orchestrating the Iraq War, such as Bill Kristol and Reuel Marc Gerecht, have led the stepped up calls for military action.

I'm confused by this post. The headline states that the House approved the resolution. As I read it, the article states only that Republicans introduced the resolution. Am I missing something, or did the headline writer know something the reporter didn't know?

House OKs possible Israeli raid on Iran

i don't know why it says 'OKs' rather than 'introduces'. i have copied another version, below, of the story with clearer wording. sorry about the slightly sensational headline. though i posted it anyway after having read the first three paragraphs because i did not feel any relief at that point. just distress at so many of the republican caucus wanting to support israel in a preemptive raid in 'self-defense'.

here you go - this one is a bit more straightforward:

HR 1553 introduced : Green light for Israeli strike on Iran

by Latins for Peace (https://latins-for-peace.dailykos.com/)


Republicans in the US House of Representatives have introduced a measure that would green-light a possible Israeli bombing campaign against Iran.

Resolution 1553 (https://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:hr1553ih.txt.pdf) provides explicit support for military strikes against Iran, stating that Congress backs Israel's use of 'all means necessary' against Iran, "including the use of military force," BBC Persian reported.

"Expressing support for the State of Israel’s right to defend Israeli sovereignty, to protect the lives and safety of the Israeli people, and to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force if no other peaceful solution can be found within reasonable time to protect against such an immediate and existential threat to the State of Israel."

Don't Let Congress Green-Light Attack on Iran (https://www.niacouncil.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=6646&security=1&news_iv_ctrl=-1)

This is the first step necessary to enable war with Iran.


The Obama Administration quietly resisted Congressional efforts to pass unilateral economic sanctions for over a year, before ultimately giving in to Congressional pressure. Now that “crippling” sanctions have been put in place, the far-right wing and Iran-hawks have begun openly advocating for what has always been their ultimate objective: war with Iran.


As we begin to debate war in earnest, we cannot let history repeat itself.


Numerous credible studies have concluded that such strikes would suck the US into the conflict that would engulf the region in war and put so much at risk:
