US Congress members in both parties pushing for more war with Iran
US lawmakers in both parties are angry that Trump may sign a peace deal with Iran instead of continuing the war — bad for taxpayers and anyone who wants the conflict to end, and framed here as proof both parties serve Israel's interests over America's.
- Trump floated a near-finished peace deal with Iran, then struck Iran anyway, killing four soldiers — so the "deal" looks shaky.
- Republicans like Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and John Bolton are furious, saying Iran wasn't crushed enough and the war should continue.
- Democrats like Cory Booker, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Jake Auchincloss attacked the deal too, claiming it hands Iran money and control of the Strait of Hormuz.
- The core argument: most of these lawmakers take big money from the Israel lobby (Auchincloss alone over $900,000), so they oppose peace because Israel wants war.
- Only Ro Khanna backed the negotiations, saying the war was avoidable and drove up food and gas prices.
Outlook: Expect heavy pressure on Trump to abandon the deal and restart strikes, with the Israel lobby quietly funneling money through new vehicles like the Better Blue Fund to keep pro-war candidates winning.
