Murphy: Trump's war policy empowers Iran

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy has publicly criticized President Donald Trump's handling of the ongoing conflict with Iran. Murphy contends that Trump's refusal to end the war has effectively ceded control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz to Iran. The senator directly links this policy to the catastrophic rise in global energy prices, arguing it empowers the Iranian regime. This criticism adds to a growing chorus of domestic political opposition to the administration's Iran strategy.
