Demand Transparency on the Iran War and Hold the Administration Accountable

To: Sen. Cantwell, Pres. Trump, Rep. DelBene, Sen. Murray

You need to demand full transparency from the Trump administration about the Iran war and hold them accountable for lying to Congress and the American people. The administration claims Iranian missiles are "mostly decimated" at 18-19% capacity, but a confidential CIA assessment reported by the Washington Post shows Iran has retained over 70% of its pre-war missile stockpiles and mobile launchers. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was accused of lying about war costs before the House Armed Services Committee and refused to answer basic questions. Trump declared the war won while Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed 228 U.S. and allied military structures. He announced Project Freedom naval escorts on Sunday, then paused them Tuesday, claiming "great progress" in peace talks. The real reason was Saudi Arabia suspending our access to their airspace after learning about the operation through social media. Iran hasn't budged on any U.S. demands. They're extorting millions from ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, holding 20% of the world's oil supply hostage. Gas prices jumped 26 cents in one week to $4.56 per gallon. Sixty percent of Americans disapprove of this war. We deserve the truth about what this war has cost us and what it accomplished. Investigate these lies and demand answers.
