US Senator Elizabeth Warren has stated that pressure is mounting to end the United States’ aggressive and illegal war against the Islamic Republic of Iran, emphasizing that the American people want the war to stop and that their tax dollars should no longer be spent on it.
In an interview with CBS News’ “Face the Nation” that aired Sunday, Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat expected to play a key role in the new Congress, said, “Look, the pressure is building to end this war. People have told us they want us to stop the war, a war that is illegal, that is halfway around the world, that to this day, the Trump administration can’t explain what their goals are, and what their exit ramp looks like."
She added that Americans “want us to stop it. They want us not to spend money over there. They want to be able to buy gasoline and heating oil fuel because they want this economy to work again.”
Warren described the political momentum as favorable for ending the aggression: “The wind is at our backs to end this war, we got a lot of different tools on the table to get this done.”
Referring to the Democratic gains in the midterm elections, which gave the party majorities in both chambers of Congress, she stressed: “This is a democracy, and the American people have spoken, and it is time to listen to the American people. Democrats are ready to fight for that, and we invite the Republicans to join us.”
The interview comes amid growing domestic backlash against the US-Israeli campaign against Iran, launched in February 2026 under Operation Epic Fury.
The aggression has failed to achieve its stated objectives of destroying Iranian defensive capabilities or denying the country its rights, while imposing rising fuel and consumer prices on Americans and contributing to Republican losses at the polls.
US Vice President JD Vance and others have linked the midterm results to public dissatisfaction with the war.
Warren’s remarks align with broader Democratic signals that the new Congress will use its legislative authority, including potential funding restrictions and oversight, to pressure an end to the conflict.
Iranian officials have long condemned the war as an illegal act of aggression launched without congressional authorization or an imminent threat, one that has only strengthened Iranian resilience and the broader Axis of Resistance.
The Trump administration has continued to defend the campaign despite the political costs, with US Secretary Pete Hegseth facing separate impeachment efforts over alleged War Powers violations.
As Democrats prepare to assume greater control, Warren’s comments underscore the widening recognition inside the United States that the aggression against Iran has backfired economically, militarily, and politically.
