U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris publicly criticized President Donald Trump's approach toward Iran, saying that if she were president she would not have opened a war against Iran, according to a post circulated by a right-wing Israeli channel. The remarks reflect a sharp Democratic Party split with the administration's ongoing military campaign.
Vice President Kamala Harris has gone on record against President Trump's Iran policy, saying she would not have initiated war with Tehran, according to a report circulated by an Israeli right-wing channel on Tuesday afternoon.
The statement places Harris firmly in opposition to the administration's current military posture, which has included sustained airstrikes on Iranian targets and a maritime blockade since early June. The Zioneer previously reported on Republican criticism of Trump's approach — Senator Lindsey Graham broke with the president over policy direction on Sunday — as well as White House sources describing Trump as frustrated that his strikes are seen as insufficient.
Harris's remarks mark the highest-profile Democratic critique of the campaign to date. The exact venue or timing of her statement was not specified in the initial report. No further details on the context or full text of her comments were immediately available.
