US EditionDemocrats call for Trump’s removal over threat against Iran
Lawmakers said Trump’s threat to Iran shows he is unfit for office, while some urged Congress to return and others called for impeachment.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump warned that "a whole civilization will die tonight" if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by his 8 p.m. deadline, threatening to destroy power plants and bridges.
- Following Iran's rejection of a 45-day ceasefire proposal, the country sealed off the Strait of Hormuz, choking global oil supplies and surging barrel prices amid escalating regional tensions.
- Democratic lawmakers, including Representative Ro Khanna , urged Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment on Tuesday, condemning Trump's rhetoric as a "moral crime" and "war crime" threatening civilian infrastructure.
- Former MAGA allies Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alex Jones also denounced the threats, with Jones questioning whether officials must "tackle Trump" to prevent further escalation.
- Invoking the 25th Amendment would require Vice President JD Vance and a majority of the cabinet to declare Trump unfit, a process experts view as extremely unlikely given the administration's ironclad allegiance.
