Chris Murphy: “The Middle East seems largely immune from U.S. efforts to bend it to our will.”

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

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.

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.
