Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), who also attended Tuesday’s Iran briefing, told the press that he, too, was fearful about further American casualties, claiming that after speaking to Trump officials, the possibility of American troops being sent to Iran seemed much more likely. “I just want to say that I am more fearful than ever after this briefing that we may be putting boots on the ground and that troops from the United States may be necessary to accomplish objectives that the administration seems to have,” he said. In his remarks to the press on Tuesday, Murphy urged a vote on a resolution to invoke the War Powers Act, which would require the administration to make a case for continued military action in Iran and face a vote in Congress after 60 days.
