Senator Murphy to Republicans: Do the Right Thing and Stand Up to Trump on Iran

Published | Video Starts at 04:11

China stands ready as soon as the bombing fully ceases to help them immediately rebuild their missile program. There is no way this campaign is going to eliminate their missile program. Just the same, We were told that part of the objective of this war was to eliminate [Iran's] nuclear program. And yet a month and a half later, they still have all of their enriched uranium. We have not destroyed Iran's knowledge of how to produce a nuclear weapon out of existence because neither are possible through a bombing campaign alone. Sometimes regime change is an objective, sometimes it isn't. (04:11–04:21)
