GOP Senators Demand Clear Iran Exit Strategy as Fuel Costs Climb

GOP senators urged President Trump to define a concrete endgame for the Iran conflict as energy prices rise, warning that any request for new war funding should come with a clear strategy. Several Republicans are drafting an authorization for the use of military force and view the 60‑day mark as a potential deadline for text, even as some praise the Strait of Hormuz reopening. Back home, higher energy costs threaten voters and could shape midterm dynamics, while Trump has signaled openness to negotiation but Republicans want more focus on affordability.
