US Senator Chris Van Hollen has expressed concerns about the potential consequences of a US-led war against Iran. In an interview with host Steve Clemons, Van Hollen stated that the US and its allies may become less safe as a result of such a conflict.

Van Hollen clarified that the US military’s ability to degrade the Iranian military is not in question. Instead, he questioned the purpose of such an action, both in terms of human lives lost and financial expenditure.

Regarding the framing of the war as a holy quest by Israeli and US officials, Van Hollen emphasized that the world does not need another religious conflict.
