The Democrats in the US are preparing the budget showdown to prevent a war in Iran.
Democratic US Senator Adam Schiff has announced plans to leverage the upcoming congressional budget negotiations to cut off funding for the war against Iran, according to a video message posted on his official X account.
Schiff stated that the impending expiration of the government funding bill on December 11 provides a key opportunity for lawmakers to meet the demands of voters to end the military campaign.
Stressing that the war was never authorized by Congress nor requested by the American public, Schiff argued that the White House constantly changed its justifications for the conflict.
He claimed that the Democrats intend to use the budget process to put pressure on the administration, noting that the military actions "have done nothing but empower Iran, which now has more to say about the Strait of Hormuz than it did even before the war. ".
