Reza Goharzad, a journalist and political analyst, said that the US Congress has no effective leverage to limit Trump's decisions about the continuation of the war until the new representatives begin their work. According to him, there are also differences of opinion in the Trump administration regarding the continuation of military operations, and J. Dee Vance tries to prevent the spread of the conflict by gaining the support of anti-war Republicans. On the contrary, Trump is looking to show himself as the winner of the war and get out of it without admitting defeat.
