US Senator Chris Murphy called for review of the 25th Amendment after President Trump's profane threats against Iran were labeled 'unhinged' by lawmakers and 'delusional' by Tehran.
President Donald Trump faced sharp bipartisan criticism from US lawmakers following an expletive-laden public threat toward Iran. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) escalated the rebuke by urging constitutional lawyers to examine the 25th Amendment, citing the president's erratic conduct. Iranian officials swiftly dismissed the remarks as delusional, further inflaming tensions. The controversy centers on Trump's rhetoric, which critics argue crosses a dangerous line in diplomatic discourse and raises serious questions about presidential temperament and stability.
