Barak Ravid reported for Axios on Wednesday that, with a deal between the US and Iran appearing increasingly out of sight, “the Trump administration is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize” and “It could begin very soon.”

Sources told the outlet that “A US military operation in Iran would likely be a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like full-fledged war than last month’s pinpoint operation in Venezuela.”

    Republicans hold a majority in both houses, so you are wrong and the poster you responded to is right.
    Yet people here upvote you who are wrong, and downvote the poster who was actually right. 🤡
    The Dems do NOT have the power to stop Trump.
