US Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) spoke at the Middle East Institute on October 28, and among the topics discussed was a briefing on the upcoming US strike plans he claimed to have received regarding the Iran war. Senator Murphy claimed that the plans presented were "crazy" and would escalate the war and violate the rules of war. Senator Murphy also implied that a report by various US media outlets regarding planned attacks against Iranian civilian infrastructure is true; US media sources have reported planned attacks against energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities. The Hill reported today that the US Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, of which Senator Murphy is a member, was briefed on the Iran war on September 29 by CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper. However, Hills' report did not specify whether or not the briefing dealt with future attack plans.
