U.S. Congressman: U.S. Has Lost Control of Military Action Against Iran
U.S. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said on the 14th that the Trump administration seriously misjudged Iran's capabilities and has lost control of military actions against Iran. Senator Murphy attended a closed-door briefing with officials from the Pentagon and the White House.
Murphy posted on the social media platform X: "It is now obvious that Trump has lost control of this conflict. He severely misjudged Iran's capacity for retaliation. The entire region is in flames."
He stated that he is confident the U.S. president has no plan to end the conflict, while implying that the conflict could escalate. According to the senator's assessment, if the United States launches a ground invasion, it could result in thousands of U.S. soldiers being killed.
Murphy emphasized that the consequences of a military strike against Iran are "entirely foreseeable," and pointed out that "that is why previous U.S. presidents have not been so foolish as to launch such a war."
The senator emphasized: "For Trump, the best option is to minimize losses and end the war. This is the only way to prevent a greater disaster."
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched multiple strikes against targets inside Iran, including attacks on Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. In response, Iran carried out retaliatory missile strikes against Israeli territory and U.S. military targets in the Middle East.
