U.S. Senator Adam Schiff of California has raised concerns about the cost of Operation Epic Fury in Iran and the unclear timeline from President Trump regarding when the military operation may end.
“The American people want to know when this war will end,” Senator Schiff stated. “But, depending on the day, we’re getting different answers from this administration.”
“The one thing I agreed with the [Defense] Secretary on is when he said there are no guarantees in war,” he continued. “It may very well have been that when they began this war, they expected it to be over very quickly… Except Iran isn’t like Venezuela. You can’t simply pick the number two mullah to replace the number one mullah and expect things to be any different.”
He commented on the Strait of Hormuz, saying, “If Iran keeps blowing up ships… and gas prices continue to go up and up for Americans, then it is very foreseeable we could become even more entrenched in this to try to keep this straight open.” He emphasized the economic impact on U.S. citizens, noting, “For a president who promised to bring down the cost of living for Americans, this is doing exactly the opposite and raising the cost. The difficulty of Americans to be able to afford simple groceries, lodging, rent, and energy prices. It’s simply unsustainable.”
