GOP senator says US has not ‘won’ Iran war yet, contradicting Trump
|
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (Wis.) said Sunday that the U.S. has not “won” the war with Iran yet, despite President Trump saying otherwise on Saturday.
“We will not have won until we have completely defanged the Iranian regime. … To me, finishing the job is to make sure that Iran can never produce a nuclear weapon, they can no longer enrich uranium, that hopefully we can remove that enriched uranium, that they can no longer hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage, that they can no longer brutalize the Iranian people, they can no longer be a sponsor of state terror,” he told host Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.”

Warner on US blockade in Strait of Hormuz: 'I don't get that logic’
|
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said Sunday that he didn’t understand the “logic” behind President Trump’s recent announcement that the U.S. military would begin blockading ships looking to enter the Strait of Hormuz.
“We know we've got $4-a-gallon gasoline. We know that 25 percent of the world's natural gas goes through the strait. We know a lot of aluminum does,” Warner told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.” “We know that this has so devastated Asian countries right now, they're shutting down their economies one day a week, fertilizer costs up. And the thing I was hoping was we could come to some negotiated truce or end.”
