ME News Report, April 5 (UTC+8), U.S. Democratic House Armed Services Committee member Ro Khanna stated in an NBC interview that Trump is “letting down the U.S. military” on Iran issues, and his words are disconnected from reality. Khanna pointed out that earlier, Trump posted a demand for Iran to “open the damn Strait of Hormuz,” or face escalation. While Trump was “using foul language and threatening war crimes,” U.S. military personnel were under fire, despite Trump repeatedly claiming Iran’s military strength had been destroyed. Khanna said, “We must end this war now. A ceasefire is needed immediately. Iran, Israel, and the U.S. must stop bombing and reach a solution through negotiations.” He also stated that he would refuse to support any additional funding that prolongs the conflict, including appropriations directly for Pentagon military operations.
