Two U.S. Senators on Israel-Iran Conflict, Russian Sanction Bill and ICE Raids in L.A.

Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz called for U.S. involvement after days of missile exchanges between Israel and Iran, while President Trump encouraged diplomacy on June 16, 2025.
The escalation stems from Israel's preemptive attacks aimed at Iran's nuclear and missile programs, following Iran-backed groups launching missiles into Israel in prior months.
Graham encouraged President Trump to fully commit to eliminating Iran's nuclear capabilities if diplomatic efforts fail, while Rand Paul strongly condemned this approach, cautioning that such actions could result in a massive loss of life.
On June 16, Senator Tim Kaine led a bipartisan initiative introducing a bill aimed at restricting the president’s ability to engage U.S. military action toward Iran without prior authorization from Congress, responding to concerns over the possibility of another extended conflict.
The conflict's continuation risks broader regional instability and challenges U.S. policy, with calls for increased sanctions on Russia and debate on immigration enforcement also shaping the political landscape.
