Only 27% of Americans support the US war in Iran, which has led to the death of over a thousand Iranian civilians. Congress can—and must—prevent President Trump from doing more damage than he's already done, CEPR's co-director Mark Weisbrot writes in @latimes.com.
2/3-Lawmakers were told Iran can produce around 100 drones a month at roughly $35,000 each, while the US manufactures only 6–7 interceptors monthly at about ten times the cost. Officials also said the US used roughly five years’ worth of Tomahawk missiles in the first three days of the conflict.
