Former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized President Donald Trump for initiating a conflict with Iran, stating that if elected in 2024, she would not have started the war. During her remarks at the Austrian World Summit in Vienna, she emphasized, "Absolutely not," when asked if she would have initiated the war. Harris expressed concerns that Trump's recent peace deal with Iran would not lead to a better situation than the previous Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated by former President Barack Obama in 2015. She argued that the U.S. would find itself in a similar position as before, and Trump would claim victory despite the circumstances. Harris also highlighted the impact of the conflict on American gas prices, suggesting a direct correlation between the war and rising costs at the pump. The peace deal announced by Trump includes the end of a naval blockade of Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Harris's comments reflect a broader criticism from other Democrats regarding the efficacy of the new agreement compared to the JCPOA.
