[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=2) The theme this week is the plan is insane, and that is not our quote.

[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=6) That's a quote taken from a video. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from the, I think the junior Democrat from Connecticut, and he has been briefed on the Iran war and the plans there, and he has this to say about it.

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=20) In one of these briefings, we did get the chance to have a fairly detailed conversation about what the war plan would be if we restarted military operations.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=31) Yeah. You- you've heard a preview that it would be a short duration- Yeah ... um, plan.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=36) I will just say this. Their plan is insane.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=41) Um, it won't, it- Why? ... it won't, it, it, it, it will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=59) Can you say more? I mean, there's been open reporting as to, you know, what we may be planning and the civilian infrastructure that we may be targeting.

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=68) Um, uh, I, I, I think the plan, the plan that they have, they have s- they've been asked by the president to develop a plan.

[1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=76) Whether they believe it, it will work or not, I do not know.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=79) Um, but the plan that they have developed will lead, in my view, to a prolongment and an escalation of this war that will be devastating for our security interests.

[1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=91) Wow. It's almost like he's saying the plan isn't really insane.

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7VcVHURs6mYr/en/chris-murphy-calls-iran-war-plan-insane-warns-of-escalation?t=94) The plan is suicidal. Yeah. That's what he's saying.
