Republicans express increasing apprehension regarding a potential ground invasion of Iran, fearing severe political repercussions in upcoming elections.

Senior House Democrats plan to push for a resolution limiting military action in Iran, seeking bipartisan support after a previous measure failed. Key Republican figures, including Rep. Nancy Mace and Rep. Derrick Van Orden, emphasize the need for congressional approval if troops are deployed, reflecting a shift in party sentiment towards military engagement.
