Van Hollen, the Democratic senator from Maryland, recently reacted to a newspaper report about Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to repeat aggressions against Iran. He issued a serious warning to Trump on X (formerly Twitter), stating: "Trump's illegal war with Iran is becoming our next eternal war."
Senator's Warning Message
Senator Van Hollen continued, saying: "For the past eight months, Trump and the Republicans have deceived themselves into thinking that the next attack or another bombing will finally bring victory." These remarks were made in response to a report published in The New York Times, citing U.S. officials about detailed plans from the U.S. and Israel for renewed attacks against Iran following the midterm elections on November 3.

Details of Military Plans
The New York Times reported that this potential operation could include an intensive three-day campaign targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, missile and drone arsenals, and possibly its energy infrastructure. These threats come as tensions between Iran and Western countries, especially the U.S. and Israel, are escalating.
Senator Van Hollen, recalling historical experiences from past wars, stated: "From Vietnam to Iraq, we know how this war ends. This war must end now." He highlighted the necessity to prevent the continuation of war and its consequences on the global community.
Global Concerns
Concerns about the repetition of war scenarios in the Middle East and their implications for global peace and security are increasing day by day. Many experts believe that any new military action against Iran will only exacerbate tensions and lead to new crises. Senator Van Hollen is trying to draw public and politicians' attention to the dangers of this approach with his warnings.
In this context, he has called for a reevaluation of U.S. foreign policies and the adoption of a diplomatic approach instead of a military one. He emphasized that war cannot be a solution to problems and will only lead to more destruction and losses.
