Murphy: Trump Has Lost Control as Iran War Risks Regional Fallout

Senator Chris Murphy warned on X that the U.S. and Israel’s campaign against Iran has escalated into a broader regional crisis, accusing Trump of losing control of the war. He outlines four major concerns: the Strait of Hormuz as a volatile chokepoint for a large share of the world’s oil and gas, Iran’s extensive drone capabilities, a widening conflict with proxies in Lebanon and Iraq, and the absence of a credible endgame. Murphy notes strained air defenses, dwindling Israeli interceptors, and the risk of a broader regional war, cautioning that a ground invasion would be catastrophic and that withdrawing or declaring victory could empower hardliners. He urged ending the war to prevent an even bigger disaster.
