WASHINGTON, March 2 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Monday defended the strikes on Iran, calling them necessary and important, and lashed out at Democrats.
"The Radical Left Democrats, a party that has completely lost its way, are bitterly complaining about the desperately needed and important attack by the United States and Israel on Iran," Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social.
"Most people understand that they're only complaining because I did it, and if I hadn't done it, they'd be screaming, 'Why didn't Trump attack Iran? He should have done it immediately!'" the White House chief said.
Democratic lawmakers sharply condemned the administration's actions, emphasizing that there was no immediate threat and that the strikes had not been authorized by Congress. They also warned that Trump was potentially dragging the United States into another protracted conflict in the Middle East.
The Trump administration's priorities are misplaced, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote on Monday on the social media site X. "Donald Trump and the extremist Republicans are willing to spend billions bombing Iran. They have done nothing to lower food prices or the high cost of living," he said.
The US Congress is expected to vote on the war powers measure this week. Specifically, the Senate will consider the matter as early as Tuesday. –0–
