WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., today released the following statement after voting against S.J. Res. 68, which would prohibit military action against the Islamic Republic of Iran:

 “Peace is best achieved through strength. Tying the President’s hands would be the wrong move especially with heightened tensions across the Middle East. At this pivotal moment, the President needs the ability to act quickly and not to be micromanaged by Congress.”
