Senator Chris Murphy says he has been briefed on the US’s plan to restart the war on Iran, calling it “insane” and saying it would lead to a “devastating escalation”.
“You’ve heard a preview that it would be a short-duration plan. I’ll just say this: their plan is insane,” Murphy said, speaking at an event organised by the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC, on Wednesday.
“It will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law.”

“There’s been open reporting as to what we may be planning and the civilian infrastructure we may be targeting,” Murphy said.
"They’ve been asked by the president to develop a plan - whether they believe it will work or not, I do not know. But the plan that they have developed will lead, in my view, to a prolongment and an escalation of this war that will be devastating for our security interests.
“We are seeing the president ready another devastating military campaign after the election, just as illegal as the first iteration was at the time, where Americans are fed up with this war.”
It’s 100% nukes. We have a stockpile of like what? 500 of them? Just collecting dust. Haven’t dropped one of those bad boys in over 50 years. The nuke is the biggest and most manliest bomb, and it’s how we won WW2. (This is their thought process)
This fits their M.O. extremely well. They’ll think it will “win this war once and for all” but everything they do has horrible unintended consequences and I expect this will be no different.
