'Are you defending Ayatollahs now?': Mullin BLASTS Dems over 'Trump dragged US into Iran war' remark

During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Markwayne Mullin sharply criticized Democratic lawmakers for opposing the Trump administration’s military strikes against Iran. The heated exchange intensified when Gary Peters raised constitutional concerns, noting that Article I of the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act give Congress, not the president, the authority to declare war. Mullin pushed back forcefully, defending the administration’s actions and accusing Democrats of undermining U.S. national security during a time of escalating tensions with Iran.
