                                  IRAN

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, on the Iran war, once again the ongoing 
fighting in Iran has blown holes in Trump's claim that victory is at 
hand. Over the weekend, Trump said he is ``in no hurry to end the war 
in Iran.''
  No hurry? Tell that to our troops who are in harm's way every second 
this war continues, including those who were fired upon in Kuwait just 
this morning. Tell that to their families.
  Really, no hurry? I will tell you who is in a hurry for this blunder 
to end: the American people who are getting crushed by record gas 
prices at the pump. They are in a hurry.
  Trump has proven over and over again that he is incapable of getting 
our country out of this mess. Congress needs to step up.
  Democrats and a handful of Republicans came together before Memorial 
Day to advance a War Powers Resolution to withdraw our troops from 
hostility with Iran. We will not stop forcing votes to end this war 
until this disastrous war is over once and for all.
  Trump and his allies in the Senate may not see the urgency of ending 
this war, but Democrats and the American people do.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic whip.
