Senator Chris Murphy said 'dumb wars start when each party mistakenly believes that the other party's defensive or reactive actions are actually offensive and proactive.'
A Democratic lawmaker from Connecticut has challenged the assessment by Republicans on intelligence allegedly proving Iran had taken aggressive steps against U.S. interests in the region.

The group was deployed to the region ahead of schedule in response to what national security adviser John Bolton claimed were"troubling and escalatory indications and warnings" involving Iran.

"Intel doesn’t show existential threats. Even what it shows, it doesn’t show threats to U.S. interests," Gallego said. He specifically pointed to White House national security adviser John Bolton—who has long advocated for military action—and Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas—who recently suggested Iran could be defeated in"two strikes"—as those steering the U.S. toward war.
"Again, Lindsey and I get the same intel," Gallego said. "That is not what is being said. This is total information bias to draw the conclusion he wants for himself and the media."
