Warren Calls Trump's War Against Iran Illegal and Built on Lies

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) warned that the situation stemming from Washington and Israel's aggression against Iran is far worse than the public realizes, accusing President Trump of waging an illegal war without a clear strategy or legitimate justification. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer echoed her alarm after a classified briefing, calling it wholly unsatisfactory.

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.
