Capitol Hill braces for possible Iran ground-troop escalation
A growing number of House Republicans are expressing concerns about a potential U.S. ground invasion of Iran as thousands of troops are deployed to the Middle East. Democrats are preparing a new war-powers resolution to curb presidential authority, but the vote has been delayed to mid-April to secure more GOP support. Several GOP lawmakers, including veterans, warn against a prolonged conflict and signal possible pushback while leaders balance political risk with scrutiny over military plans and gas prices.
