Chris Murphy: “I worry that you may misread where the reluctance lies in Congress today.”

It’s important to recognize there are things we need to work on together: ending the war in Iran and a pathway to Palestinian statehood.

We know that Donald Trump has no clear plan to resolve the Iran War, which has now cost the American taxpayer over $45 billion.

I plan to see for myself the damage to American facilities, hear from our partners in the Gulf about how this war has hurt their security and their economies, and assess our regional counterterrorism efforts.

With Democrats on the verge of regaining control in Washington, it’s imperative that we offer a new approach to our policy in the Gulf that reflects America’s interests.
