Republican Senator Says I Was Wrong' When Confronted With Past Claim About Iran
"I think it will take them years to restart their nuclear program. I think that they can't control their airspace; they don't have the will to do it. From what I've seen, I'm in shock and awe. You know, it's just, it's shocking how much damage we did to their facilities."
"Look, I was wrong. They were restarting their nuclear program. That's what that's the reports out of the White House that they were actually starting their nuclear program, but I think it goes way beyond this, and you're absolutely right, there is a cost to war."
"And I mourn the loss of those seven soldiers with all my heart and pray for those families and the 140 that are injured. Eight of them are serious. Absolutely, I take that to heart. I hate war, once again."
Senator Roger Marshall appeared on CNN to discuss the U.S. military operation against Iran and acknowledged error in his earlier assessment. Marshall had previously stated on Fox News that Operation Midnight Hammer destroyed Iranian nuclear capabilities for years. When confronted with this clip, Marshall admitted he was wrong, explaining that intelligence reports from the White House indicated Iran was restarting its nuclear program. He acknowledged the human cost of the conflict, noting 140 service members were wounded and seven killed. Marshall contextualized the operation within broader U.S.-Iran tensions, referencing historical incidents including the 1983 Marine barracks bombing and the 1979 hostage crisis.
