🚨Breaking: Sen. Tim Kaine says a vote on his Iran War Powers resolution with Sen. Rand Paul is coming “very soon,” journalist Aída Chavez reports. Drop Site’s Capitol Hill correspondent Julian Andreone caught up with Sen. Kaine moments ago. “A war with Iran would be a grand disaster. Completely unnecessary,” he says. “My constituents don’t want it, and they especially don’t want a president to take us into war without an adequate debate about the reasons.” Asked why the U.S. would attack Iran, Sen. Kaine responded: “I don’t have any idea.” He added, “I don’t think last night the president gave the American public any reason to suggest that a war with Iran would be a good idea.”

Vice President JD Vance’s argument that the U.S. is "not at war with Iran" after carrying out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites is "BS," says Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), telling Margaret Brennan: "When you're bombing another nation, ask them if they think it's war. They do. Would we think it was war if Iran bombed a U.S. nuclear facility? Of course we would." Kaine adds that the mission on Saturday in Iran was the U.S. "jumping into a war of choice at Donald Trump's urging, without any compelling national security interest" and "particularly without a debate and vote in Congress."

U.S. military action in Iran would be “a massive mistake” and “would have the effect of giving the Iranian regime the ability to say it’s the U.S. that is screwing our country up,” Sen. Tim Kaine tells Margaret Brennan. “U.S. military action would just bring back the painful history of the U.S. toppling the Iranian prime minister back in the 1950s, and would give the regime the ability to blame their own failures on the United States,” Kaine (D-VA) adds.

Drop Site’s Capitol Hill reporter Julian Andreone spoke with Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) about foreign press access to Gaza, Israel’s ongoing killing of Palestinian civilians, U.S. arms transfers, and the role that campaign donations and the pro-Israel lobby play in shaping policy. Kaine told Drop Site he strongly believes journalists should be allowed into Gaza and said Congress is scrutinizing arms transfers more closely than in the past, while acknowledging there is still no majority for imposing limits. Kaine’s record reflects shifts over the course of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In March 2024, he voted to arm Israel’s war machine with $14 billion in U.S. tax dollars, as the reported death toll surpassed 30,000, with Gaza’s Health Ministry estimating roughly 72% of those killed were women and children. He later supported cutting U.S. funding to UNRWA, the backbone of Gaza’s aid operation, a decision that contributed to the collapse of aid delivery and worsening famine conditions. In November 2024 and April 2025, however, the Senator voted to block transfers of offensive weapons, including JDAMs, tank rounds, and mortars, and in September 2025 led a symbolic call for U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state, joined by six other Democratic senators. When asked whether the fact that 94% of Congress has accepted donations from the pro-Israel lobby concerns him or affects U.S. foreign policy, he said, “I don’t think it does.” Julian Andreone | Senator Tim Kaine

"Congress needs to be notified, not after the fact, but in advance. We were not," Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) says of the U.S. strikes carried out against Iran in "Operation Midnight Hammer." "The United States should not be in an offensive war against Iran without a vote of Congress. The Constitution is completely clear on it. And I am so disappointed that the president has acted so prematurely," Kaine tells Margaret Brennan.

🎥 Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution was defeated Thursday, but not before forcing Congress to go on the record over U.S. support for Israel’s war in Lebanon. The measure drew support from 90 other lawmakers and prompted Democratic leadership to back a separate resolution they say would prevent direct U.S. involvement in the conflict. Ahead of the vote, Drop Site’s Julian Andreone caught up with Tlaib, who has said “Lebanon can’t wait,” as “every day that we do nothing, 11 more Lebanese children are killed or injured by the Israeli military in this U.S.-supported invasion.” After the vote, Tlaib vowed “this fight is not over” and urged House Democratic leadership to move forward with a new Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

Thomas Massie (R-KY), who sponsored the House War Powers resolution to limit U.S. military action against Iran, told Drop Site the Trump administration effectively acknowledged the U.S. was pulled into the conflict because of Israel. Massie said the push for war is driven by “neocons,” and warned it would be “very troublesome if our foreign policy is dictated by a country of 8 million people in the Middle East.” He also said he does not believe the Epstein files are connected to the war, though the conflict could become a distraction from uncovering the truth about them.
