AIUS affairs expert Aqil Abbas has explained the reasons behind the escalating political confrontation between the White House and the opposition.
Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Abbas said, "Trump is known for his sharp rhetoric and accusations. However, so far, the actions taken by Democrats regarding Iran—such as launching investigations or summoning officials—are all legal measures within the rights of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and committee chairs. There is a tendency within the Democratic Party to pursue these steps once they assume control of Congress."
He added that senior Democratic leaders are calling for a focus on the conflict with the Republican Party, noting that Trump's statements about Iran are a preemptive move to protect his administration from investigations into its members.
