US Congressman Thomas Massie has called for the United States to immediately withdraw from the ongoing war or military conflict against Iran. In a report published on August 1, 2026, Massie, a long-standing critic of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy, warned that delay could severely weaken US political and military influence.

In a message posted on X, Massie said Iran was waiting for at least three possible developments before winding down its position or reaching an agreement. He asked whether the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve would be depleted, missile defense systems in the Middle East would run out, or Republicans would lose their congressional majority.

Warning the US administration in advance, Massie said the United States should leave the negotiating table or withdraw from the conflict before any one of those three events occurs. The report did not provide details of the conflict, a response from the administration, or any subsequent US decision.
