Statement summary
Eric Hafner, the Democratic candidate for Alaska's at-large U.S. House seat, said in the Alaska Beacon's 2026 voter guide that he opposes the current U.S. involvement in Iran, that the United States should honor what he called its stated neutrality policy, and that it must immediately stop arming Israel.
“I oppose the current Iran involvement. We must honor our nation's commitment to our stated neutrality policy. We must immediately stop arming Israel. In arming Israel, we are aiding in the killing and injuring of innocent Palestinian families and destroying their country. We must stop being part of Israel's war actions.”

Why we used this label
The case tracks support for continued U.S. military operations against Iran. Hafner says he opposes the current Iran involvement, so we labeled it Condemned.
