Bernie Sanders Calls for Immediate Congressional Action to End Iran Conflict
The political divide in Washington has reached a boiling point as senior U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders launched a scathing attack on President Donald Trump’s recent foreign policy rhetoric. Following Trump’s expletive-laden posts on Truth Social—where he threatened to bomb Iranian power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed—Sanders took to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday (April 5) to condemn the President’s mental state. He described the statements as “dangerous and the ravings of a mentally unbalanced individual,” sparking a massive debate over the President’s fitness to lead during wartime.
Sanders emphasized that these aggressive remarks come just one month into the ongoing war with Iran, a conflict he has consistently labeled as unconstitutional. “This is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday,” Sanders noted with alarm. He further argued that Trump is gambling with American lives to fulfill a “Netanyahu-led” ambition of dragging the U.S. into a regional war. The mentally unbalanced label used by Sanders reflects growing concerns among lawmakers regarding the President’s erratic decision-making process during this 2026 crisis.
Congress Urged to Invoke War Powers
Beyond the personal criticism of being mentally unbalanced, Senator Sanders issued a direct call to his colleagues in the U.S. Congress. He insisted that lawmakers must “act NOW” to reclaim their constitutional authority over war declarations and immediately end the conflict in Iran. According to Sanders, the unilateral actions taken by the Trump administration violate international law and risk a global catastrophe. He warned that the financial burden—already exceeding $16 billion in the first two weeks—is unsustainable for the American people.
While the White House maintains that the President’s “Power Plant and Bridge Day” threats are a necessary deterrent, critics like Sanders believe such language only serves to alienate allies and invite further retaliation. As the deadline for the Strait of Hormuz looms, the pressure on Congress to intervene has never been higher.
