Senator Mark Warner criticized President Trump's military action in Iran as a "war of choice" that has spiked gas prices and failed strategic goals, while also addressing the 58-day Department of Homeland Security shutdown.
Internet Archive’s transcript reports Trump ordered a naval blockade after talks with Iran failed to produce a deal, while BBC News explains how a blockade could work and its role in pressuring Tehran toward a new deal. The Sunday Guardian also covers the blockade, pairing it with Trump’s warning that gas prices may remain high through the midterms.
