US Senator Chris Murphy said on October 28 that the US strike plans presented in a briefing on the Iran war were "insane", warning that they would escalate the conflict and violate the laws of war. Murphy also suggested that reports of planned US strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities were accurate. The Hill reported that Murphy's Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee received an Iran war briefing from CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper on Sept. 29, though it did not confirm whether future strike plans were discussed.
