Democratic Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari – the first Iranian-American Democrat elected to Congress – has slammed the US-Israel war on Iran as “catastrophic”.

In a post on X, Ansari said thousands of innocent people “died for nothing”.

“Donald Trump is an incompetent, pathological liar who didn’t achieve any of his alleged objectives for the Iran war,” Ansari wrote. “I’m glad the war is ending. It’s been catastrophic.”
