Kamala Harris accuses Trump of dragging US in the war that Americans do not want

Former Vice President Kamala Harris made that accusation recently. 

In response to U.S. (and Israeli) military strikes on Iran under President Trump's administration, she issued a strong statement condemning the action as an unnecessary escalation.

Her key points from the statement (posted on X and widely reported):

"Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want."

She explicitly opposed a "regime-change war in Iran."

She argued that U.S. troops are being put in harm's way "for the sake of Trump’s war of choice."

She described the strikes as "a dangerous and unnecessary gamble," "unwise, unjustified," and lacking congressional approval.

She accused Trump of lying during his campaign by promising to end wars rather than start them.

She called on Congress to use its powers to prevent further U.S. commitment to the conflict.

This appears tied to recent events involving airstrikes on Iran, reportedly aimed at preventing nuclear threats or regime elements, with some reports noting the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the strikes. 

Harris positioned her criticism as rejecting reckless escalation while acknowledging Iran's threats but insisting military regime change isn't the solution.

The statement has drawn significant attention, with reactions ranging from support (viewing it as principled opposition to endless wars) to criticism (some seeing it as inconsistent or politically motivated, especially given past Democratic foreign policy stances).
