Democrats Push for Trump's Removal as Republicans Largely Silent on Iran Threat
TL;DR Summary
After Trump threatened to attack Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, most Republicans in Congress stayed largely silent or cautious, with a few voicing unease; Democrats in both chambers urged invoking the 25th Amendment or impeachment, including Pelosi. Outside voices also criticized him. Less than two hours before the 8 p.m. deadline, Trump announced a ceasefire contingent on Iran’s opening of the Strait, delaying a large-scale attack.
