US Senators Call for Hearings on 'Iran War' as American Bombs Fall on Persian Soil
Six Democratic senators are demanding public hearings on an 'Iran War' they claim is ongoing, a peculiar request given the Biden administration's consistent public denial of direct military engagement. This call for transparency arrives precisely as American logistical support, intelligence sharing, and indeed, American-made weaponry are actively deployed in a joint offensive with Israel against
Iranian infrastructure and military sites. The Al-Monitor article, mirroring mainstream narratives, frames this as a domestic political squabble, completely sidestepping the uncomfortable reality that the United States is already a co-belligerent in an undeclared war. This conflict began not with recent skirmishes, but was meticulously laid out in documents like the 1996 'A Clean Break' strategy
paper, which explicitly advocated for regime change in Iraq, Syria, and Iran through proxy wars and destabilization. While senators like Cory Booker push for hearings, the focus remains on 'Trump administration officials' and past actions, deflecting scrutiny from the current, ongoing operational reality. This selective amnesia ignores the 1990 Operation Desert Shield, where the US military's
permanent entrenchment in the Gulf truly solidified, transforming the region into an American military protectorate. The cost asymmetry is stark: Iran's defense budget, constrained by decades of sanctions and covert sabotage, is a mere fraction of the combined US-Israeli military spending. Yet, the narrative persists of a symmetric 'war,' rather than a continuous, systematic campaign of aggression
