Two Republican Senate candidates call for swift end to Iran war

Two Republican US Senate candidates, Mike Rogers of Michigan and Ashley Hinson of Iowa, have called for a swift end to the war in Iran. According to SABC News, they previously supported President Donald Trump's authority to strike Iran.

Their latest statements come as fuel prices remain high, with diesel prices surging to record highs. Hinson, a sitting member of the US House of Representatives, expressed concern that Iowans are being financially burdened by the war, citing high fuel costs.

Hinson has proposed measures including a suspension of gasoline taxes and a pause in diesel exports to alleviate the financial strain. Both candidates are in tight races, with Rogers facing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Hinson facing Democrat Josh Turek in Iowa, Daily Times reports.
