Senator Blumenthal says we seem to be on the path to deploying troops to Iran [View all]

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) left a Senate Armed Service Committee briefing on the Iran war Tuesday saying he believes the Trump administration is on a path to putting U.S. troops on the ground in Iran.

“We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives,” the senator told reporters after the briefing.


Blumenthal said he left the briefing “as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate.”

“I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war,” he said. “My questions have been unanswered, and I will demand answers because the American people deserve to know.”
