Donald Trump is clearly getting ready to go to war with Iran. His ego cannot handle being mocked; Maduro made fun of the way he dances, and shortly after we invaded Venezuela and took him hostage. Now Ayatollah Khamenei has made fun of the US military, and Trump and Hegseth are lining up the machines of war around Iran. Trump promised fewer wars in his campaign. He promised peace, yet he is continually dragging us into unjustified armed conflicts around the world without bothering to involve Congress. We have battered our might against the Middle East for decades with remarkably unimpressive results beyond the needless loss of life, and there is no reason to expect this time to be different. I call on Congress to rein him in and stop this needless war with Iran before it begins.
