US senator: Trump briefed us on new war plans against Iran... and calls them "madness"

Iran ·

Senator Chris Murphy said some lawmakers, including himself, had been briefed on the administration's plans for a new war on Iran, and that he cannot disclose details of those plans.

Washington and Tehran have been at odds for decades over Iran's nuclear programme and regional role, and in June 2025 US and Israeli strikes hit Iranian nuclear sites.
