Hakim Jeffries: We must withdraw immediately from the war against Iran The leader of the Democrats in the US House of Representatives: One of the first actions that must be taken right now, even before January 3rd and the start of the new Congress in the new year, is for the president and the government to stop this selective, expensive and reckless war in Iran. This must be done now. We never had a reason to enter this war and we must get out of it immediately.
