A growing number of congressional Republicans are expressing concern over President Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict, warning that rising inflation, higher fuel prices and uncertainty about U.S. objectives could damage the party’s prospects in upcoming elections, according to CNN.
Many are urging the White House to focus on securing a diplomatic resolution and presenting a clearer long-term strategy.
According to CNN, lawmakers including Sen. Shelley Moore Capito and Rep. Jeff Van Drew emphasized the need for a peace agreement and an eventual exit plan. Others raised concerns about the economic impact of the conflict, particularly as inflation and energy costs continue to rise.
While many continue to support efforts to curb Iran’s influence, they argue the administration must better explain both the costs and objectives of the conflict to the public.
