THE US SENATE SUPPORTS TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN AGAINST IRAN AND REJECTS A CEASEFIRE.
Amajority of US senators endorsed the military campaign ordered by President Donald Trump against Iran, in a move reflecting broad political support for the operation within Congress.
The council voted to block a draft resolution that aimed to end the war and required the US administration to obtain prior authorization from Congress before carrying out any hostilities against Iran.
In this context, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said that the American people support the decision to go to war against Iran, even though opinion polls indicate otherwise.
Levitt added during a press conference that US President Donald Trump believes that Americans stand with him on this decision.
She continued: “I think the president knows the country is smart enough to see through many of the fake news headlines that portray this action as unjustified.” However, several opinion polls showed widespread opposition to the war.
A CBS News/YouGov poll indicated that 54 percent of Americans oppose the war if it continues for several months. CNN reported that Trump’s advisers are working to limit the political fallout from conflicting messages about a war with Iran.
