Senate Dem Declares US On a Path Toward' Ground Invasion After Iran Briefing: Left With More Questions Than Answers'

"I emerged from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate. I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war. My questions have been unanswered, and I will demand answers because the American people deserve to know."

"We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran."

"So the American people deserve to know much more than this administration has told them about the cost of the war, the danger to our sons and daughters in uniform, and the potential for further escalation and widening of this war—a war of choice made by this president."

Senator Richard Blumenthal attended an Iran briefing and emerged dissatisfied, believing the Trump administration is preparing to deploy U.S. ground troops to Iran. He stated he left with more questions than answers, particularly regarding war costs and threats to American military personnel. Blumenthal emphasized the American people deserve transparency about potential ground deployment, the dangers to troops, and risks of further escalation. He also raised concerns about reports that Russia is providing technical assistance to Iran to identify U.S. forces. Blumenthal characterized the conflict as a war of choice by the president rather than a necessary military action.
