📰 Democrats Pressure Mike Johnson to Keep House in Washington Over Iran Operation

A group of House Democrats is urging Speaker Mike Johnson to cancel the upcoming congressional recess and keep the House of Representatives in Washington as the military situation involving Iran continues to rapidly evolve. Lawmakers argue that with U.S. operations underway and global tensions rising, Congress must remain in session to monitor developments and fulfill its oversight responsibilities.

The request, led by Representative Jared Moskowitz, stresses that lawmakers should stay available to receive security briefings, debate policy decisions, and respond quickly to any escalation in the conflict.x 

The call reflects growing political debate in Washington over the expanding Iran operation, with some Democrats warning about the risk of a prolonged conflict while Republicans largely defend the administration’s military strategy.
