Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, two of the leading Democratic presidential candidates, joined forces on Wednesday to help rally progressive opposition to a war with Iran and to blame President Trump for his role in the Middle East crisis even as the threat of open conflict appeared to subside.
In a call on Wednesday night that included thousands of listeners and was hosted by MoveOn and other left-leaning advocacy groups, Ms. Warren acknowledged that there appeared to be “a pause in the hostilities, for now” after Mr. Trump, earlier in the day, backed away from further military action against Iran and said the United States was “ready to embrace peace with all who seek it.”
Ms. Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, said she hoped the peace would continue, but also renewed her criticism of the president.
“Let’s be clear — this is a crisis of Donald Trump’s making,” she said. “The first job of the president of the United States is to keep America safe. But this president’s reckless actions have made us far less safe.”
