Sen. Roger Marshall calls U.S. strikes on Iran a 'mop-up operation' on Meet the Press

On Meet the Press, Sen. Roger Marshall said U.S. strikes on Iran were "almost as a mop up operation," calling the "major war" over even though Iran launched attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain hours earlier. Marshall also told the program it is "very possible" there is not enough time or resources to implement the SAVE America Act before this year’s midterms. Minutes after calling the major war over, Marshall separately said "I don't think the war is over," creating a direct contradiction in his remarks. His comments come about a week after a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict, and they portray the current U.S. military action as limited follow-up strikes rather than sustained major combat operations. NBC News reported the exchange and quoted Marshall's language in full while noting the timing relative to the recent regional attacks.
