Warren warns Iran war is "so much worse than you thought" after Senate classified briefing

Senator Elizabeth Warren told reporters after a Senate classified briefing on March 4 that the Iran war was "so much worse than you thought" and that the Trump administration had launched the conflict without a plan and without an imminent threat. The briefing included Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Secretary Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Joint Chiefs Chair Dan Caine. Senator Richard Blumenthal said he was "more fearful than ever" of ground troops entering Iran, while Senator Chris Murphy called the administration's strategy "complete incoherence."
