## Resource

In today’s On NOTUS, Rep. Yassamin Ansari speaks with host Daniella Diaz about her experience as the only Iranian American Democrat in Congress as the war with Iran continues. She described her “mixed emotions” of fear, anxiety and hope “because this is kind of the first time that Iranians have seen outside intervention of some sort.” But at the same time, she believes the war is “wildly, wildly illegal.” She also discusses who she’d like to see run for president in 2028.
