‘America Is Weaker’: Democrat Warns Trump Has Already Lost The War On Iran

  • On Sunday, Sen. Chris Murphy argued that President Donald Trump has already lost the war on Iran, warning that the conflict leaves America weaker while strengthening Iran.
  • The administration is pursuing a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz that would reportedly pay Iran $100 billion annually, though Iranian leadership declared Saturday they will not reopen the waterway without war reparations.
  • Murphy described the proposed arrangement as a "victory for Iran," asserting that the country would "get paid to reopen the Strait" while receiving additional funding to rebuild their military.
  • Separately, Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed President Trump's plan for Hamas's "complete disarmament" as "fictitious disarmament" on Sunday, confirming Israel will not withdraw troops from the Gaza Strip.
  • Reports indicate President Trump rarely reads the Presidential Daily Briefing, instead relying on advisers like Jared Kushner and news from Fox News to form his foreign policy view.
