WASHINGTON — Today, Congressman Greg Casar (D-Texas) released the following statement. 

"We cannot allow the U.S. to be dragged into war with Iran by Netanyahu’s reckless escalations. Iran’s retaliatory attack — also deeply wrong — was expected and defended against," Casar said. "We need de-escalation and a diplomatic solution for the safety of all people, including Americans."
