AI Summary
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore warned in a CBS News interview that the U.S. is "lurching again into another forever war," drawing a parallel between potential Iran conflict and the decades-long war in Afghanistan where he served. Moore, a veteran, expressed concern that American military involvement in Iran could repeat the pattern of open-ended commitments that defined the two-decade Afghanistan campaign. His remarks signal growing concern among some Democratic leaders about the Trump administration's Iran policy and the risk of escalating regional tensions into prolonged conflict. The governor's criticism reflects broader Democratic anxiety about potential military escalation in the Middle East following recent U.S.-Iran tensions.
