Democrat, Republican Senate veterans diverge on Iran war wisdom

US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer hit out at President Donald Trump's attack on Iran, asking him to “provide the American people and Congress clear answers on the actions taken tonight and their implications for the safety of Americans.”

“No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy,”

Former Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, however, said the attack was logical citing Iran's hostile stance.

"Seizing this opportunity is not an escalation toward war — it is a prudent response to the warmongers in Tehran."
