Jeffries: ‘We are seeing the beginning of an all-out war in the Middle East’

House Democrats criticized President Trump for actions in the Middle East, describing the weekend strikes on Iran as an escalation. They warned that such moves risk broadening conflict and potentially triggering a wider war in the region.

Leader Hakeem Jeffries characterized the developments as an “all-out war” and urged caution, calling for careful consideration of consequences and a measured response. He and other lawmakers condemned the intensity of U.S. strikes and urged diplomacy to de-escalate tensions.

The remarks come amid ongoing debate over U.S. military measures in the Middle East and the Biden administration’s handling of the situation, with lawmakers contrasting party approaches to conflict management and foreign policy.
