House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took to X to urge Congress to immediately end what he called a “reckless war of choice in Iran,” warning that President Donald Trump could drag the country into World War III. This came after Trump posted on Truth Social, threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization. Trump ultimately did not follow through, agreeing instead to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
Jeffries wrote, “Congress must immediately end this reckless war of choice in Iran before Donald Trump plunges us into World War III. It’s time for every single Republican to put patriotic duty over party and stop the madness. Enough.” However, Jeffries himself had previously stopped short of calling for Trump’s removal, even as many fellow Democrats did so openly, according to The Hill.
