"Sen. Blumenthal stated, 'What I think the stark, hard truth is: that the Iranians still have the capacity to attack our aircraft... We have not destroyed completely their capacity.'"
"'Bombing alone can't accomplish any of President Trump's objectives here, whether it's regime change or controlling the enriched uranium,' Blumenthal emphasized."
"'We are on the precipice, potentially, of a catastrophic invasion... none of these objectives can be accomplished by bombing alone,' he warned."
"'The president has dragged us into a war that the American people don't want, without a strategy, and a tremendous economic cost,' Blumenthal expressed."
Sen. Richard Blumenthal warned that President Trump's threats against Iranian civilian infrastructure could amount to a war crime. Trump’s social media post demanded the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and hinted at attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure. Blumenthal expressed concerns about Iran's military capabilities, stating that U.S. air superiority is not absolute. He suggested that bombing alone cannot achieve U.S. objectives in Iran and warned of a potential ground invasion, emphasizing the lack of a coherent strategy and the economic costs involved.
