Debate over the threat posed by Iran took on a partisan hue after Trump administration officials briefed lawmakers

Washington Tuesday, with Democrats charging that the White House is blowing normal threat levels out of proportion and Republicans insisting that deterrence, not war, is the goal.

Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford met with House and Senate lawmakers in response to growing frustration on Capitol Hill about the administration's silence as tensions with Iran have spiked.

Operation Desert Storm, the War on Terror...wtf? When is the war in the Middle East going to end?

MAGA

Didn’t Obama release hundreds of millions to Iran. We should investigate the Democrat party ties to the Iranian regime.

Let me guess, the Iranians said they will hate us 'for a thousand-thousand generations.' 🤣 Iran Iranians

Do I think the Democrats would make this partisan even if they believe it’s a real threat? Yes, yes I do.

Trump is that president with balls, Iran shouldn't any nonsense.

Just give them cash!! Tell them Barack says “sup”

There is no threat

GOP puts boots on the ground in Iran will be political suicide for Trump and that means prison.

No surprise. The only who wants this war is Bolton

Iranian regime is clear and present danger, just saying!

Dems should say that’s a real shocker.

What? Democrats were partisan? Now that's hard to believe.
