Vermont Congressman Peter Welch headed back to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, and he says the last thing America needs is another war in the Middle East.

Welch, D-Vermont, hosted a press conference at the Burlington International Airport before he left for D.C.

In Washington, he will head to the Capitol to review intelligence on the death of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

Welch is looking to join fellow Democrats and vote on a resolution to block President Trump from starting a war with Iran.

Tuesday, Welch questioned whether the decision to kill the Iranian general will keep America safe.

"The question before us is not whether that was a legitimate decision, the question is was that a wise decision," Welch said. "I will be a voice for de-escalation. We do not need another war and we need de-escalation."

Welch is a founding member of the No War with Iran Caucus in the House and co-sponsors legislation to limit the president's authority to take military action.
