Democrats Demand GOP Leaders End Recess to Stop Trump's Iran War.

The article focuses on the political fallout following President Donald Trump's threat to "wipe out a whole civilization" in Iran, which has intensified Democratic calls for a war powers vote to limit U.S. military action and sparked renewed discussions of impeachment. Democrats urge Republican leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, to reconvene Congress to vote on ending the conflict, citing concerns over Trump's rhetoric and military strikes on Iran's oil infrastructure. Some Republicans have also expressed alarm, warning that targeting civilian infrastructure could violate international law. While impeachment discussions have gained traction among some Democrats, leadership remains focused on pursuing a war powers resolution due to the significant political and procedural challenges involved in removing the President from office.
