Senator Warren on War in Iran, Warsh Hearing and Fed Independence

• Senator Warren condemns the US military posture in the Middle East, calling the naval blockade an 'act of war' and an 'indefinite war' that lacks a clear strategy and has cost American lives and treasure.
• She warns that Iran has gained leverage and the capacity to inflict 'enormous pain' on the US and global economy by potentially closing the Strait of Hormuz.
• Warren expresses deep skepticism about Kevin Warsh's independence as a potential Fed Chair, accusing him of being a 'sock puppet' for President Trump and refusing to disclose assets or confirm if Trump asked him to lower interest rates, which she believes could lead to politically driven monetary policy and higher inflation.
