Tammy Duckworth: Everything Is Worse Now than It Was Before Trump Launched the War Against Iran

EXCERPT:

DUCKWORTH: “He’s already put the allies at risk. He’s already put Americans at risk. We have — we have, you know, 13 dead heroes and thousands more who are wounded. The Strait of Hormuz is mined. So we are already in worse position than where we were before Trump launched this war without even coming to Congress and explaining to us why this was necessary. And frankly, the longer this administration fails to engage in meaningful diplomacy and continue this incompetence in terms of waging this war, you know, the longer our ships and service members and personnel, they’re the ones at risk, and it’s really insulting to them that the administration would claim that the ceasefire is holding, that the war is over, when we still have service members in harm’s way with no plan to get them home safe and no plans to make things better for Americans here at home, full stop. So he needs to move forward in a significant way. And frankly, we are already worse off than where we were before Trump launched this war.”
