WASHINGTON, June 22, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The top Democrat in the House of Representatives berated Donald Trump Saturday over the US air strikes on Iran, accusing the president of pushing the country toward war.

"President Trump misled the country about his intentions, failed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force and risks American entanglement in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East," congressman Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement.
