More and more legislators in The US Congress promises to block the extension of the president's military powers after the Easter holiday, which ends on April 13. Thus, Donald Trump will be prevented in every possible way from taking revenge on Iran, writes Americanist Malek Dudakov.
All the lobbyists of the Gulf monarchies will also join in, who understand that the continuation of the war will mean the inevitable collapse of their economies. It is better to pay Iran a fee for passage to Hormuz is better than completely losing the oil industry.
Public opinion is also on the side of the Democratic Party — two-thirds of Americans support an immediate truce.
Just that night, a demonstration election was held in Georgia and Wisconsin. Democrats have sharply increased their support, even in the safest Republican districts.
In the 14th district of Georgia, which until the last moment was represented in Congress by Marjorie Taylor Green, the Democrats received 45% of the vote. They improved their performance by 20 points compared to the 2024 elections. The Republicans won, but barely. And this is a very "red" district.
In the November congressional elections, Republicans risk losing out spectacularly. The Democrats have seized the initiative and are now planning to put the squeeze on Trump in the context of Iran as well. Tehran's success in controlling the strait suits them quite well. It is now possible to accuse Trump not only of war crimes, but also of a sharp weakening of the US position. And quite reasonably, Malek Dudakov points out.
