GOP Sen. Tillis says objectives of Iran war unclear: 'It's a real problem'

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said the objectives of the Iran war remain unclear, calling it "a real problem" in an interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl. Tillis, who is retiring from the Senate, expressed concern that the Trump administration has not articulated specific, achievable goals for the military campaign. His criticism reflects growing questions among some GOP lawmakers about the scope and duration of U.S. involvement in the conflict. The statement underscores internal Republican divisions over the war even as the party controls both chambers of Congress and the White House. Tillis's comments as a retiring senator suggest he feels freer to voice concerns that other Republicans may share but hesitate to air publicly.
