CAPITOL HILL, Washington — Amidst a bizarre statement from top United Nations US ambassador Mike Waltz that "freedom is never free" following the death of three American soldiers in retaliatory attacks by Iran, United States president Donald Trump face extreme criticism from several Republican lawmakers who fiercely accused Trump of aggravating the situation in the Middle East.

On Sunday, March 1, US Central Command announced that three Americans troopers had been killed and several other service members were injured from a drone attacks by Iran's revolutionary forces.

"The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified," the announcement read.
A US official dusvlosed that the conflict with Iran is now expected to last weeks, but President Trump has not provided a clear timeline on the matter even as he declared that the operation against Iran is 'ahead of schedule.'

Following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the latest attacks, Tehran has responded by launching a barrage of missiles against US military bases across the Middle East, killing three American servicemen.

As a result, Republicans are beginning to turn on the president's war agenda as US casualties are expected to climb in the coming days. Longtime Trump supporters are also bashing the President for running on a campaign to end military conflicts in the Middle East.

"This was absolutely unnecessary and is unacceptable. Trump, Vance, Tulsi and all of us campaigned on no more foreign wars and regime change. Now, America soldiers are dead," Taylor Greene posted on X.

Kentucky's fourth congressional district representative Thomas Massie, who has long called out the administration for its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, wrote, "PSA: Bombing a country on the other side of the globe won’t make the Epstein files go away, any more than the Dow going above 50,000 will."

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries demanded Congress unite to restrict Trump's war powers: "Heartbroken by the loss of life of multiple service members in the Middle East. No more American heroes need to die because of a reckless decision to go to war."

To conclude, Jeffries e joined fellow kawmakers: "Congress must act this week to restrain this President."
