Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democratic minority in the US House of Representatives, launched scathing criticism against President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, describing military involvement against Iran as a 'reckless option.' In statements made on the (X) platform, Jeffries held Trump and those he described as 'Republican extremists' directly responsible for igniting a conflict that did not receive congressional approval, emphasizing that these actions led to the deterioration of US national security.
The Democratic official pointed to the severe economic repercussions of the war, explaining that it caused a疯狂 surge in fuel prices and drained the state budget by wasting billions of dollars of citizens' money. Jeffries concluded his remarks with a phrase that caused shock in political circles, as he explicitly called for the necessity of 'regime change in America,' referring to the need to remove the current administration.
On the ground and financial fronts, reports issued by the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) revealed shocking figures, with military operations costing approximately $25 billion. Sources explained that the daily spending rate approaches $1 billion, which prompted the administration to request a massive additional budget of up to $200 billion to compensate for the severe shortage in strategic ammunition stockpiles and ensure the continuation of operations.
This war, not approved by Congress, caused a jump in fuel prices and wasted billions of dollars, making the United States less safe.
