Senator Gives Dark Warning About Trump’s War After Secret Briefing

A Democratic senator said a closed-door briefing with military brass on Tuesday left him concerned about a potential escalation in President Donald Trump’s war on Iran.

Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, 80, said the bipartisan Iran briefing for the Senate Armed Services Committee left him with more questions than answers as the White House refuses to rule out the possibility of American boots on the ground.

“I emerge from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate,” he told reporters. “I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war.”
