Senator Chris Murphy Discusses Iran Strike and Pentagon Access Issues

Senator Chris Murphy stated that the Pentagon prevented him from accessing a major US military base in Qatar. He reported observing significant damage at the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and concluded that an Iranian strike could have resulted in severe casualties if it had occurred during daylight hours. Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut and a member of the Senate foreign relations and appropriations committees, characterized the extent of the damage he saw in Riyadh as considerable and suggested it was more severe than what the public has been informed.
