Former United States Vice President Kamala Harris has criticised President Donald Trump over recent American military strikes in Iran, accusing him of dragging the country into a conflict the public does not support.
In a statement shared on X on Saturday, Harris described the administration’s actions as a “dangerous and unnecessary gamble,” marking a sharp escalation in political opposition following the strikes.
“Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want,” she wrote.
Harris, who served as Vice President from 2021 to 2025, added, “Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.”

She questioned the President’s approach, saying, “What we are witnessing is not strength. It is recklessness dressed up as resolve. During the campaign, Donald Trump promised to end wars rather than start them. It was a lie.”
“Raising constitutional concerns, Harris stated, “Under the Constitution of the United States, the President must receive authorisation from Congress to enter a war.
But even if he had, that does not change the fact this action is unwise, unjustified, and not supported by the American people.”
Emphasising the risks to military personnel, she concluded, “Our troops deserve a Commander-in-Chief who approaches decisions on matters of war and peace with the same steadiness and discipline our troops show every day.”
The White House has yet to formally respond to her remarks.
