Kamala Harris has said she is opposed to regime-change in Iran and criticised US President Donald Trump for “dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want”.

In a statement on social media platform X, she said US troops were being put in harm’s way “for the sake of Trump’s war of choice”.

“During the campaign, Donald Trump promised to end wars rather than start them. It was a lie,” she stated, adding that Congress must “use all available power” to prevent the president from further committing the US into the conflict.
