Ro Khanna: I hope Trump ‘just declares victory’ in Iran and ‘gets out’

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) called on President Trump to exit the U.S. conflict with Iran by declaring victory and withdrawing, expressing frustration with the administration's military engagement in the region. Khanna's remarks suggest the Democratic congressman believes Trump's original expectation—that military intervention would produce a compliant Iranian government—has not materialized. The comment reflects growing skepticism among some Democrats about the scope and sustainability of the current Iran policy. Khanna's position underscores internal disagreement over the Trump administration's approach to Middle East strategy, even as the White House continues military operations in the region. His call for a political exit rather than continued military involvement signals concerns about prolonged entanglement in another protracted conflict.
