Murphy Statement on Trump's Incoherent Primetime Address on Iran

WASHINGTON-U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) released a statement following President Donald Trump's primetime address on the administration's disastrous war in Iran:

"That speech was grounded in a reality that only exists in Donald Trump's mind. We are losing this war. We cannot destroy all their missiles or drones, nor their nuclear program. Iran projects more power in the region than they did before the war, especially if they now permanently control the Strait of Hormuz. We are spending billions we don't have and losing American lives in a war that is destabilizing the world and making us look feckless. And no one in America, after listening to that speech, knows whether we are escalating or deescalating. In fairness, though, neither does our President. He seems to be making this up day by day, and that's just catastrophic for American security."
