Jeff Merkley: Strike on Iran Is ‘A Tragedy that Never Had to Be’ Had We Stayed in the JCPOA Agreement

EXCERPT:

MERKLEY: “This is what, absolutely what we've been expecting for several days. All the signs were there. We were removing all of our personnel from Iraq. We were keeping forces stationed in the area. The President was making kind of vague statements about the possibility. So, this is what we were expecting. Kaitlan, what really strikes me here is this is a tragedy that never had to be.”
