<p>Moj Mahdara, a Democratic Iranian-American entrepreneur and founding member of the Iranian Diaspora Collective, blasted Democratic Party lawmakers on Sunday over their negative response to Trump’s Iranian strike.</p>
<p>“I think that it is imperative that the Democratic Party wake up and get past their dislike of Donald Trump … and their feelings of international conflicts going on,” Mahdara began, noting that this operation has a broad impact that includes Gulf state security and “resetting our relationship with China.”</p>
<p>“Right now, 55% of the oil production that Iran produces goes to China, despite sanctions. You want to support the people of Ukraine? You want to end that war? You have to — there is no getting around dismembering this Islamic Republic. It is non-negotiable. It is not a want to have. It is a have to have,” Mahdara continued.</p>
<p>She added that the Iranian regime’s fall will reverberate around the world, not only altering the Middle East, but also impacting Ukraine, Venezuela, and China.</p>
<p>“And I think at this point, we have a tremendous opportunity. This will be like ending the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall. This is a transformational moment for humankind, for security, and as an American &#8230; this is in our interest to complete it,” said Mahdara.</p>
<p>After noting that she is a “huge Democrat,” she expressed how disappointed she is with the Democratic Party: “I do not see myself in them in this moment.”</p>

<p>Prominent Democrats offered much criticism in the aftermath of the Iranian strike.</p>
<p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) promised to compel a vote on the War Powers Resolution introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).</p>
<p>“The framers of the United States Constitution gave Congress the sole power to declare war as the branch of government closest to the American people,” Jeffries said in a statement. He added that Iran is a “bad actor” that must be “aggressively confronted for its human rights violations,” but said the Trump administration should have sought congressional approval.</p>
<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/2027765113617277225">said</a> in a statement on X that &#8220;Iran must never be allowed to attain a nuclear weapon but the American people do not want another endless and costly war in the Middle East when there are so many problems at home.&#8221;</p>
<p>The minority leader added that the administration must answer many questions about the scope of this operation, and said President Trump&#8217;s &#8220;fitful cycles of lashing out and risking wider conflict are not a viable strategy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act,&#8221; Schumer concluded.</p>
<p>Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a <a href="https://x.com/NYCMayor/status/2027799160574120418">statement</a>, calling the strikes a &#8220;catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace,&#8221; the mayor added.</p>
<p>Some Democrats, like Sen. <a href="https://x.com/SenFettermanPA/status/2027674658091204808">Jon Fetterman</a> (D-PA), have broken with their party to praise the strikes.</p>
<p>“President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region,” Fetterman said in a post on X. “God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.”</p>
