Tell Republicans: Stop Enabling Trump's War in Iran

A fragile ceasefire in Iran is already falling apart—and the risk of a wider war with Iran is rising by the hour.

After days of claims that fighting had paused, new reports show tensions escalating again, with control over the Strait of Hormuz hanging in the balance. What was supposed to be a step toward de-escalation now looks like the brink of something far more dangerous.

Under the War Powers Act, Donald Trump had just 60 days to get congressional approval for military action—or stop. Republicans in Congress acknowledged that deadline and treated it as the moment for accountability. 

But when that key deadline arrived, Republicans did nothing. Instead, Trump claimed a temporary “ceasefire” somehow paused the clock—a legal argument that collapses the moment fighting resumes, as it already has.

Tell Republicans in Congress: Stop enabling Trump’s war. Enforce the War Powers Act and block further escalation now.

Donald Trump has pushed the United States toward conflict while brushing aside congressional oversight. And Republican leaders are allowing it—refusing to enforce the very law they said mattered, and giving Trump room to continue unchecked.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. A prolonged conflict with Iran doesn’t just risk lives abroad—it hits Americans at home. Gas prices are already rising. Global oil markets are destabilizing. Families are paying more at the pump and facing higher costs across the board, all because of reckless decisions made without proper oversight from Congress.

If this escalates further, the consequences could be catastrophic: more violence, more economic pain, and the very real possibility of being pulled into another endless war.

Republicans in Congress have the power to stop this. They can enforce war powers deadlines and refuse to rubber-stamp Trump’s escalation. But they won’t act unless the pressure is impossible to ignore.

Add your name now and demand Republican leaders in Congress stop enabling Trump's war in Iran before it’s too late.

The petition to Republicans in Congress reads:
"Enforce the War Powers Act, require immediate congressional authorization for any military action against Iran, and take all necessary steps to block further escalation. Stop enabling Donald Trump’s path toward a wider war."
