[U.S. Democratic Senators Threaten to Obstruct Proceedings, Demand Trump Officials Testify Publicly on Iran War] According to a report by Jinse Finance, several U.S. Senate Democrats have threatened to push for multiple war powers votes and obstruct Senate proceedings unless Republicans agree to hold public hearings with senior Trump administration officials regarding actions against Iran. On Monday, several Democrats, including Cory Booker from New Jersey and Tim Kaine from Virginia, stated that they insist on holding public hearings with Secretary of State Rubio and Defense Secretary Hegseth. They also expressed dissatisfaction that all briefings so far have been classified and conducted behind closed doors. Kaine said, "The secrecy exists for a reason—because you know this cannot withstand public scrutiny, which is why we are doing this." These senators emphasized that they are acting as individuals, not on behalf of the entire Senate Democratic caucus. They added that they plan to use their limited power as the minority party to delay Senate business until senior Trump officials publicly testify on the White House's rationale for actions against Iran.
