You must demand an immediate end to this catastrophic war with Iran. We've spent over $11.3 billion in six days, killed 7 service members with 140 more wounded, and watched gas prices jump 60 cents per gallon. This is unsustainable. Iran has mined the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world's oil passes through a two-mile channel. Three merchant ships were hit today. Oil suppliers have shut down because storage is full. Military experts call sending ships through the strait "suicidal" right now. Iran is warning oil could hit $200 per barrel, and Iraqi oil ports have completely stopped operations after attacks on tankers. The February 28 strike on Shajarah Tayyebeh girls elementary school killed at least 175 people, mostly children. Our own military investigators found we were responsible, using outdated targeting information. The Pentagon initially underreported casualties to Congress. At least 17 U.S. installations have been struck, including embassies in Kuwait City, Riyadh, and our consulate in Dubai. This war has no clear victory conditions and is draining our military readiness for other threats. Iran has rejected ceasefire messages. Every day this continues costs American lives, billions of dollars, and global stability. Stop this now.
