This is bad news for anyone hoping Congress will quickly end the Iran war, since Democratic leaders are divided on whether to cut off funding.

• Senator Patty Murray says she wants the Iran war ended immediately, but has not committed to blocking funding for it.
• Democrats could refuse to pass any bill that pays for the war, a tool they control in Congress.
• Some corporate-aligned Democrats appear willing to keep funding the war through 2027 instead of cutting it off.
• The gap between what Democratic leaders say and how they vote is drawing criticism from within the party.

Outlook: Expect continued pressure campaigns from progressives, but no quick end to war funding unless more Democrats commit to voting no on future spending bills.
