Ruben Gallego Criticizes Trump’s Decision to Strike Iran

The articles report that Sen. Ruben Gallego criticized U.S. actions during the Iran war. Two focus on Trump’s strikes, while one focuses on the State Department’s delayed warning for U.S. citizens to leave the region. Center outlets mostly frame the story as Gallego’s opposition to Trump’s Iran strikes and his claim that Trump followed Netanyahu; one instead foregrounds Gallego’s criticism of the delayed warning to U.S. citizens.
