Democrat Chris Murphy has faced backlash after responding “awesome” to reports that 26 Iranian shadow fleet vessels breached a U.S. naval blockade.
Murphy, a critic of the war, has argued the United States is spending “billions” on a mission he described as ineffective, calling the conflict “pointless” and warning current strategies are “almost certain not to work.”
