U.S. Senator: The attack on Iran is clearly aimed at undermining U.S.-Iran negotiations

ChainCatcher news, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy stated that the attack on Iran "is clearly aimed at undermining the Trump administration's negotiations with Iran" and "risks a regional war that could have catastrophic consequences for the United States."

The Democratic senator said that a war between Israel and Iran "might be beneficial for Netanyahu's domestic politics," but could be disastrous for "other countries in the region." "If Trump and Netanyahu had not forced the U.S. to withdraw from the nuclear deal with Iran, Iran would not be so close to having nuclear weapons," Murphy said.
