Omar, Squad lash out at Trump in response to Iran strike: ‘Illegal regime change war’
Progressive House members condemned President Trump’s recent strike on Iran, labeling it an “illegal regime change war.” Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Greg Casar criticized the action, arguing it escalates tensions without proper justification.
They urged de-escalation and called for renewed diplomacy to address tensions with Iran, emphasizing the risk of broader conflict in the region. The lawmakers also criticized the administration’s approach to foreign policy, suggesting more transparency and accountability in decisions with global impact.
The response underscores internal U.S. political divides over intervention, with Omar, Tlaib, and Casar signaling opposition from within the Democratic caucus to the strike and its potential consequences.
