Sen. Cotton Calls for 'Massive Retaliation' Against Iran

Cotton criticizes Biden's response to attacks on US assets, while Rep. Auchincloss defends administration's sanctions policy.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has called for a 'massive retaliation' against Iran in response to a series of attacks on US assets in the Middle East.
Cotton criticized President Biden's restrained response to Iran, suggesting that the US should target Iranians operating in Iraq and Syria.
There have been at least 66 attacks on US forces since October 17, according to the Department of Defense.
Cotton dismissed fears of escalating militarily against Iran, citing historical examples of US retaliation that did not lead to outright war.
Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.) defended the Biden administration's policy toward Iran, highlighting the imposition of nearly 50 new sets of sanctions that have led to significant inflation in the Iranian economy.
