On March 4th local time, U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer strongly criticized the U.S. government for once again initiating war in the Middle East. He stated that the American people "least want and least need the Middle East to ignite again." Schumer accused U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin of "being more concerned with creating media soundbites" rather than explaining the plans and rationale for the war to the American public. On the same day, Austin said at a press conference that the conflict between the U.S. and Iran could last up to 8 weeks or even longer. (CCTV News)
