House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has sharply criticized President Donald Trump over the escalating war with Iran, warning that the conflict could lead to “more American body bags.” Jeffries described the military campaign as “unprincipled” and accused the administration of dragging the United States toward another costly Middle East war without clear justification. The top Democrat urged Congress to intervene and demanded an immediate halt to further escalation, calling on the administration to “end this now.” His remarks come amid growing political backlash in Washington over the legality and human cost of the expanding U.S. military operations.
