## Key points

- Khanna wants Congress to stop funding further US military action in Iran.
- Earlier war powers efforts backed by Khanna and Massie have failed.
- Renewed US strikes remain possible, but no final decision has been reported.

## Summary

US Representative Ro Khanna said Congress should stop funding any further American military action in Iran. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, the California Democrat compared the proposal with congressional efforts to end the Vietnam War. He also argued that the conflict was contributing to higher petrol and diesel prices, and urged voters to consider the war when casting their ballots in the midterm elections.

Khanna has worked with Republican Representative Thomas Massie on resolutions seeking to restrict US military action in Iran, but those efforts have not succeeded. His call for a funding cut comes as the possibility of renewed strikes remains unsettled: US officials have warned regional allies to prepare for potential action after the elections, while diplomats briefed on those warnings said President Donald Trump had made no final decision. The Congressional Progressive Caucus had previously adopted a position opposing additional funding for the war.
