Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said he and several other US lawmakers have been briefed on the details of the possible plan to resume military operations against Iran. He described the plan as "insane" and warned that its implementation would escalate and prolong the war. Murphy said in a video of the Middle East Institute meeting released on Thursday, November 7: "In one of these briefings, we had a fairly detailed discussion of the war plan in the event of a resumption of military operations. "They say this operation is short-term, but their plan is crazy and will lead to a devastating escalation of the conflict of our rule of law, and maybe even our destruction." Referring to reports about the possibility of attacking Iran's civilian infrastructure, this US senator said he believed the plan prepared at Trump's request would prolong the war and have devastating consequences for American security interests.
