Many in Congress fear that President Donald Trump is leading a war in Iran without clear goals, with many accusing him of withholding information. The death toll in Iran and Lebanon has risen to more than 1,500, with over 1,000 troops in Israel and 13,000 in the Middle East already committed. Despite claims that Iran has no military capabilities left and U.S. forces have hit over 10,000 targets, the president still requires help reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Despite a press briefing at the White House, White House Pep Secretary Karoline Leavitt avoided questions about Iran and said she wasn't going to "negotiate for the president" in the briefing room. The fear of an escalating war continues to mount as other countries in the region warn of attacks by Iran and its allies.
