Democrats stay mostly united against President Donald Trump, but the strikes on Iran are starting to reveal some splits in the party. Democrats condemn Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while also pushing a war powers vote to limit Trump. Some pro-Israel Democrats say they will not support that measure. Trump says the operation could last weeks and warns casualties could rise. Democrats point to gas prices and economic swings. The fight also revives tensions over Israel and AIPAC in key primaries.
