U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) warned Wednesday that the joint aggression by Washington and Israel against Iran has produced a situation far more dangerous than most Americans can imagine.
After attending a classified briefing on the military operation, Warren acknowledged being gravely concerned, stating that the Trump administration has no coherent plan with respect to Iran.
She went on to accuse the president of waging "an illegal war built on lies," arguing that no imminent threat to the United States existed to justify the strikes.
Trump, she emphasized, has yet to offer a clear rationale for this war and "appears to have no plan to end it."
Warren also said she was angered by the president's actions and saddened "by the deaths caused by this conflict," vowing to continue working toward bringing the war to an end.
Schumer: The Trump Administration Gives Different Answers Every Day
In the same vein, The New York Times reported that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed deep concern over the expansion of the mission's scope, following a closed-door meeting with senior Trump administration officials regarding the "military operation" in Iran.
According to Schumer, the closed session was "completely unsatisfactory" and the administration was providing "different answers every day" as to why the president ordered the strikes against Tehran.
