Konflikte · Iran War · Archiv47–49: Die einzelne Abstimmung, die den Iran-Krieg am Laufen hältVerfasst 7. September 2026 um 21:22 UTCAnsehenTranskript0:00A Democratic Congressman who initially0:01supported the defense bill is now0:03breaking with his party and the0:04administration over the Iran war, saying0:07publicly it has no strategy, no exit0:09plan, and no congressional0:10authorization. California Representative0:12Gil Cisneros warned the conflict is0:14going horribly with munitions being used0:16faster than they can be replenished.0:18Cisneros laid out several core failures0:20in the administration's approach. After0:22more than 60 days of military action,0:25the White House has not sought the0:26required authorization from Congress, a0:28bipartisan concern that is now gaining0:30real traction on Capitol Hill. The war0:32is now in its fifth month, far exceeding0:35the initial 4 to 6-week estimate. The0:37United States has conducted 130:39consecutive nights of air strikes on0:40Iran with no clear end point in sight.0:4318 US service members have been killed0:45in the conflict and nearly 100 have been0:48wounded since fighting resumed. The0:50financial burden is mounting just as0:52quickly. Total war spending has reached0:5437 and a half billion dollars and the0:56Pentagon is requesting an additional 670:59billion. Combined, that is more than 1001:01billion dollars with operations still1:03ongoing and no end in sight.1:05Congressional pushback is now1:07bipartisan. Democratic Senators Ossoff,1:09Peters, and Murray have joined1:11Republicans including Senators Kennedy1:13and Collins in challenging the1:14administration's war strategy. Cisneros1:16also noted that hypersonics technology1:18improved under the Biden administration,1:21raising questions about whether the1:22current strategy is leveraging the right1:24capabilities. That blunt assessment from1:26a Democratic lawmaker underscores the1:28growing unease on Capitol Hill as the1:30conflict enters its sixth month with no1:32defined path forward from this1:34administration.Artikel lesenChronologie der GeschichteHeyDexDas Kurzvideo ↗
