Iran war fuels political backlash, inflation debate in the US
Rising inflation and energy prices in the US have intensified political divisions, with Democrats criticizing President Donald Trump's Iran policy and trade tariffs for worsening economic conditions. Senate and House leaders, including Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, accuse Trump of starting a 'reckless war' with Iran, which they claim has spiked gas prices and eroded household incomes. Analysts link the conflict to global energy market disruptions, amplifying inflationary pressures.
