Barak Ravid reported for Axios on Wednesday that, with a deal between the US and Iran appearing increasingly out of sight, “the Trump administration is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize” and “It could begin very soon.”

Sources told the outlet that “A US military operation in Iran would likely be a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like full-fledged war than last month’s pinpoint operation in Venezuela.”

Aside from Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, and maybe the squad, who is pushing back meaningfully on this?

    "The Squad" are Democrats. The other two names are currently valid for my point.

    "The Media" always frames things as if the minority group should be winning. Republicans have the majority, they should not be absolved when they are needed to increase the total number of votes to a majority.
