Senator With $155K in Pro-Israel Lobby Money Admits Trump's Iran War Is a Total Disaster
Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut just did something unusual for Washington: he told the truth about a war his own government is waging. In a 9-tweet thread posted March 14, 2026, Murphy — citing closed-door intelligence briefings — laid out four cascading crises that paint a picture of strategic catastrophe. Crisis 1: The Strait of Hormuz Is Closed — And Nobody Knows How to Reopen It Trump
believed Iran would never close the Strait of Hormuz. He was wrong. Oil prices are spiking, gas prices are surging, and food prices are next. Murphy says flatly: "Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait. And a plan may not exist." Iran has deployed thousands of small drones, explosive speed boats disguised as fishing vessels, and sea mines across the waterway. They are, as Fox News itself reported
, too numerous and too spread out to eliminate. Naval escorts? Murphy says that would require the entire U.S. Navy — 100 tankers need protection daily — and American ships would face the same mines and drones. Crisis 2: Drone Warfare Changed Everything — Trump Didn't Notice The U.S. can destroy Iran's missiles. But it cannot stop Iran's cheap, weaponized drone swarms. Iran blew up a critical oil
depot in Oman two days ago. Murphy notes that if Trump had paid any attention to the Ukraine War, he would have seen how warfare has fundamentally changed. But he didn't. And he blundered. Worse: Gulf states are running out of interceptors. Once those stockpiles deplete, more oil infrastructure across the region becomes vulnerable — with no defense.
