The Trump administration’s justification for the war in Iran keeps changing. First, it was that the United States was under threat of an immediate attack. After that lie was disproven, the story became that Israel was under threat from Iran, but now the story has changed to the United States could have been attacked by Iran in a year or so.

Sec. of State Marco Rubio can’t keep his stories straight, so he is telling different tales within minutes of each other while lashing out at reporters who are trying to figure out what’s going on.

Rubio briefed senators about the war in Iran, and Democrats emerged even more concerned than when they went into the room.

Sarah Jones takes down Trump’s Iran Lies:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said after leaving the briefing:

 I just left a classified briefing on Iran, and here’s what I can say, it is so much worse than you thought. You are right to be worried. Trump administration has no plan in Iran. This illegal war is based on lies, and it was launched without any imminent threat to our nation. Donald Trump still hasn’t given a single clear reason for this war, and he seems to have no plan for how to end it either.

Like a lot of you. I am really angry. I am angry at what Donald Trump is doing, and I feel grief for those already killed in this unnecessary conflict, and I will keep doing everything I can to fight to end this war.

The Trump administration has been very confident that more Americans are going to die, and Sen. Chris Murphy explained why.
