U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has strongly criticized President Donald Trump for his handling of the ongoing military campaign in Iran, launched jointly by the United States and Israel under the banner of regime change. Speaking in the Senate on March 10, Schumer accused the administration of issuing contradictory statements about the war and demanded that senior officials testify publicly before Congress.

Schumer questioned Trump’s conflicting remarks about whether the Iran operation was nearing its end or escalating toward more intense fighting. He also dismissed Trump’s claim that an Iranian Tomahawk missile was responsible for a deadly attack on a primary school that killed 175 civilians, calling the assertion absurd. Schumer further challenged Trump’s statement that Iran possesses Tomahawk cruise missiles.

The Democratic leader called for a full, independent, and transparent investigation into the civilian casualties and warned that the conflict was already affecting the global economy, particularly through rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. He urged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to testify before Congress to explain the administration’s actions in the Middle East.
