This war has been a disaster_ Top Dem on the House Armed Services Committee

Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, described the ongoing war with Iran as a "complete disaster" in mid-April 2026. His comments, made during an interview with ABC News on April 15, 2026, criticized the conflict for its "devastating impact" and lack of meaningful objectives. Smith’s critique is part of a broader push by House Democrats to end the conflict, which began following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on February 28, 2026.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
