U.S. Representative Jason Crow stated that following the Republican losses in the midterms, military action against Iran must come to an end. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Crow noted that since the Republican party lost control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections, ending the war in Iran is no longer solely up to President Donald Trump. He pointed out that Congress holds the power of the purse, having already spent nearly $100 billion of taxpayer funds on the conflict, and possesses the authority to cut off this funding source. Furthermore, he emphasized that there is strong, bipartisan public desire across the U.S. for the war to end, which aligns with the direction Donald Trump himself pledged during his campaigns over the years.
