“Small potatoes.” That’s how Donald Trump feels about the war he started in Iran. Tell that to the families of the 18 troops we’ve lost, the hundreds of wounded servicemembers, and the Americans suffering every single day from record high prices. There's nothing small about it.
🚨Military leaders are sounding the alarm, warning Pete Hegseth about the long-term damage of extending Trump’s reckless war in Iran. Stop putting Americans at risk. End the war now.
Month after month, lie after lie. The truth? This is another endless Middle East war brought to you by Donald Trump. We must end this war now. https://t.co/dv0O9ShdYJ
6 months in, Trump’s disastrous war in Iran has accomplished nothing but the depletion of American stockpiles and the weakening of our military standing. That’s what I call an abject failure. https://t.co/egyUeP6bia
While the Trump administration spews blatant lies about their failure in Iran, the reality is that 6 months in, the Iranians are holding the Strait hostage, gas is up to record highs, and 18 servicemembers have died – all while Trump still has no strategy to end the disaster of a war he started.
It’s been 6 months since Trump initiated a war with Iran that has put American servicemembers at risk, caused gas prices to skyrocket and created global instability.
Inflation increasing. The Iran war raging on with no end in sight. A trade war with Canada. And what does Trump want? To rename Lake Ontario. Donald Trump’s personal grievances first, Americans last.

Gas above $4/gal. National debt at $40 trillion. Another endless war in the Middle East. The FDA gutted and foods being recalled every day. And this is what Donald Trump is focused on.
