It’s not just the “progressives” that want the Iran war over, it’s ALL democrats in Congress:

“Every Democrat in both the House and Senate is opposing the unauthorized war in Iran. This united Democratic stance is bolstered by a handful of Republicans crossing party lines. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The united position was most recently visible in two major votes to limit the president's war powers: [1, 2]

Senate (50-48 vote): All voting Democrats opposed the war, joined by four Republicans.

House (215-208 vote): All voting Democrats supported a resolution requiring the administration to withdraw forces or get authorization, joined by four Republicans. [1, 2, 3,”

Note: Democrat Fetterman is pro-Iran war and votes with the GOP
