Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a conservative critic of the Iran war, told Newsmax on March 10 he has seen no evidence that justifies the United States’ involvement in the current military conflict with Iran, saying Iranian expatriates calling for American intervention must incite the change they wish to see in their country. “Is it in our national interest to go to war?” he asked host Ed Henry. “Is there a benefit that the country needs? Are we imminently going to be attacked?”
Paul said he has not seen any intelligence indicating that Iran posed an immediate danger requiring an American military response. “And I don’t see any imminent nature of being attacked or an imminent sense that it is in our best interest to be at war in the Middle East,” he said.
