US Senator Calls for End to ‘Illegal War’ on Iran, Citing Price Increases

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat representing Maryland, stated in an interview with NBC News on Sunday that the ongoing conflict with Iran is directly contributing to price hikes. He described the engagement as an “illegal war.” Van Hollen further asserted that the current situation is a consequence of what he termed as President Trump’s “unfulfilled promises and betrayals,” indicating that the upcoming midterm elections would serve as a warning to the President. The senator explicitly labeled President Trump as a threat to both American democracy and its economy. The report notes that the repercussions of Trump’s costly actions against Iran have sparked significant criticism and opposition from a broad spectrum of politicians and the public, particularly as the congressional midterm elections approach.
