How have US politicians reacted to the attack on Iran?
US politicians react with a split stance after the Iran attack. Republicans largely back Trump-era strikes, urging tougher action and warning of escalated measures if Iran retaliates.
Democrats are divided, with many opposing broad escalation and calling for careful diplomacy, but lacking a unified, opposing stance. Some lawmakers urge restraint while others express concern about miscalculations and civilian harm.
Overall, the response highlights a partisan divide on Iran policy, balancing calls for deterrence with demands for diplomatic channels and risk management.
