US Senator: None of Trump's goals in the war with Iran have been achieved Jack Reed, Vice Chairman of the Armed Services Committee in the US Senate: Despite the will of the people, Trump has led our country to war with Iran. After eight months of war with Iran, none of the goals of Trump and the United States have been achieved and this action has greatly weakened our position. In this war, 21 American soldiers lost their lives and more than 850 others were wounded.
