Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the ongoing conflict with Iran has driven up costs for American families, arguing that higher gas prices and broader inflation are being felt nationwide while criticizing a proposed foreign reconstruction plan.
Rising Costs Tied To Iran War
On Saturday, in a post on X alongside a speech clip, Schiff wrote, "Since the start of the Iran War, our costs at home have gone higher and higher."
He said that President Donald Trump is not doing enough to ease economic pressure, instead offering Iran a $300 billion reconstruction fund.
"This is hardly what people were expecting from a president promising America first," he added.
