American Congress is now curbing Trump action against Iran as a way to discipline an unruly school boy
Democratic led House has had to curb Trump action and there has been no resistance from the Republicans this time |
According
to a popular vote at the House, he will now need to seek approval from Congress before engaging in further military action against Iran. This was
decided after a voting showed complete support for no military action
escalating chances of war. The House passed the measure, 224-194, and saw almost
no Republican support.
De-escalation
is on everyone’s platter and no one is interested in going on war. Unlike
Trump, who might not have weighted the grave loss at hand, lest Iran was to retaliate
in severe military fashion, the NATO nations and rest of Europe, is supporting
a situation of dialogue and de-escalation.
According
to the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, this measure will “protect American lives
and values” by limiting Trump’s military actions. She further added that “The
administration must de-escalate and must prevent further violence,” at all
costs.
With
this, the house hopes that Trump would have more control and sense into his workings
with Iran. While this is not a forced
law, the Congress has ensured that Trump has to withdraw U.S. forces from
conflict with Iran within 30 days in case he does not get congressional
approval.
The
resolution passed is simply meant to curb Trump’s war power and not further
fire an already tense situation in the Middle East. In the words of Nancy Pelosi,
Trump’s action to slay the Iranian General Qasem Soleimani was ‘provocative’
and ‘disproportionate’. Whether Trump is
in a position to take a moral call over the war atrocities Soleimani committed,
is a question that has a clear answer. In his position, he does not have the
liberty for such moral judgment, and even if he did need to assassinate, an
open acceptance is the biggest mistake he has made.
