Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib, Yassamin Ansari denounce 'immoral' Iran war Two US Congresswomen have criticised Trump administration’s “immoral” war on Iran, which completed six months on Sunday. In a post on X, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib wrote: “Today marks 6 months since the Trump administration launched its illegal and immoral war on the people of Iran.
