Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) has warned that President Donald Trump has "lost control" of the ongoing conflict with Iran, stating that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is driving oil prices higher and could trigger a regional war. Murphy highlighted the challenges of containing Iran's drone and missile attacks, and warned of potential global recession if the Strait stays closed. He also highlighted the potential for further conflict in Yemen and Syria. President Trump has declined Iran's offer to negotiate a ceasefire, and hinted at the possibility of additional strikes on the country. He named China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the U.K.
