Analyst outlines three steps to halt the ongoing Republican Iran war fiasco

Veteran journalist Jennifer Rubin contends that the United States' involvement in Iran is the longest-lasting disaster of the current presidency, with no viable military exit and an expected boost to Iranian power. She attributes the failure to President Trump, his secretaries of state and defense, and Republican allies, including right-wing pundits and figures such as Pete Hegseth. Rubin urges Democrats, if they secure one or both chambers, to halt all war funding, launch comprehensive hearings that could expose misconduct and possibly lead to impeachment, and push a sweeping amendment to the War Powers Act to restore Congress’s exclusive war-declaration authority. She concludes that midterm victories would allow Democrats to rebalance executive and legislative power and stop costly Middle-East engagements.
