Sen. Rand Paul expressed concerns Sunday over President Donald Trump’s threats to bomb Iran as the Middle Eastern country sees widespread protests continue.
Speaking with ABC’s “This Week,” the Kentucky Republican said he is not sure striking Iran “will have the effects intended.”
“We wish freedom and liberation the best around the world, but I don’t think it’s the job of the American government to be involved with every freedom movement around the world,” Paul said.
Paul also expressed concerns over how the administration would distinguish between Iranian protesters and law enforcement if Trump were to approve military action in the region.
“How do you drop a bomb in the middle of a crowd or a protest and protect the people there?” Paul said. “Plus there’s the constitution that we don’t let presidents bomb countries when they feel like it. They are supposed to ask the people through the Congress for permission.”

Except, Iran can be gone by as early as next week if we act.
Senator Graham is all in for military aid to the “Iranian Antifa” killing cops and burning down buildings in Iran.
And this has led to the killings of the rioters by the Iranian authorities.
Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb iran..........
We’re the last best hope for freedom Rand, if not us, who? If not now, when?
President Trump does not take military advice from Lindsey G
I don’t know this but I do not think that he does
He would argue it doesn’t always work and can make it worse
You’re allowed independent thoughts ./
Lindsey Graham is a grifter but if we can drop some bombs on Iran to help the population overthrow the Islamic regime them I say Let’s Go. Would Rand prefer to do nothing when the Iranian ppl seem to be on the cusp or regime change? that is stupid
May not work but it can’t be worse. Those poor people have lived 47 years of hell on earth. Set them free!
I would like to add for the record that Lindsey Graham is a mega-sized douche nozzle that should have been banished years ago. My opinion is in no way related to that DBag Senator.
Information is tightly controlled please quit using wishful thinking posters on X or anywhere else tell you how its going
Reserve judgement and let’s see there are many reports their crackdown is working [again] but it could be propaganda from their side. Who knows?
He knows Graham is a grifter.
How does your response correlate to my response to your original post. Seems like deflection.
Other than the feckless Linseed Graham who said anything about bombing Iran?
And is Paul so stoned on pot that he thinks Trump would authorize dropping bombs on crowds in the street?
I used to really like Rand Paul but he seems to have come down with Tucker Carlson Syndrome.
Iran has been at war against the US since the Islamic government was installed by Jimmy Carter. This is our business.
The “Iranian Antifa?” On another thread you talk about the “Netanyahu Antifa.”
Does everyone in the world have their own Antifa in your fevered brain? LOL
I think I’m ok with Trump bombing the ayatollah positions in support of the ppl. Maybe it turns out bad but it’s a minimal input for freedom IMHO.
