Democratic Senators Warn of Risks as Iran War Raises Ground Troop Fears. Democratic U.S. senators are raising concerns about the growing war with Iran, warning that President Donald Trump could eventually deploy American ground troops. The concerns come after lawmakers received a classified briefing from administration officials on the conflict. Several senators said the meeting left them with more questions than answers about the cost, duration, and potential escalation of the war. Senator Jeanne Shaheen warned that Russia may already be helping Iran by providing intelligence, raising fears that the conflict could widen. Other lawmakers also pointed to a broader alliance between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea that could pose a serious threat to U.S. national security. Senator Richard Blumenthal said the situation appears to be moving toward the possibility of American troops entering Iran. Meanwhile, the White House is expected to request additional funding for the war, with some estimates suggesting the administration could seek around 50 billion dollars from Congress.
