"Crow expressed concern that Trump was making tactical decisions without a clear strategy, stating, 'One of the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan is that you can win every battle and every engagement... but we lost the end game.'"
"'A blockade is one thing, but do you know who actually benefits from a blockade? Russia benefits from a blockade. We just eased sanctions on Russia. They are making billions of dollars more,' Crow stated."
"'That should be the goal, but the way you achieve that is with a diplomatic agreement that is verifiable. There must be inspections,' Crow emphasized."
"'As imperfect as that deal was, which was a flawed agreement, it is much better than where we are now,' Crow said regarding the previous inspections under the former administration."
Rep. Jason Crow criticized President Trump's blockade order in the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting concerns over tactical decisions lacking a clear strategy. He referenced lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan, noting that winning battles does not guarantee success in the end game. Crow pointed out that Russia benefits from the blockade, while emphasizing the importance of a verifiable diplomatic agreement to address nuclear and ballistic weapons programs in Iran. Martha MacCallum countered with the need for a strong strategy against Iran, but Crow maintained that inspections must be permanent and verifiable.
