Chris Murphy: “I agree that we are likely safe in large part because there isn't any other place to go.”

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.

This is part of a coordinated, deliberate campaign by the Department of Defense to hide the consequences and the true costs of the Iran war.

This should be unacceptable to every member of Congress—Republicans and Democrats—and this should be unacceptable to the American public.

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.
