WATCH: 'We're taking out the threat.' Sen. Mullin speaks after briefing on U.S. attacks on Iran

They've killed thousands or injured thousands of Americans for 47 years. As long as the threat is still of there, we're going to continue to be going after them. Given that this could be a sustained campaign and that American service members are being killed, why didn't Congress vote to declare war? (01:16–01:21)
