Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said Monday that the United States is no longer a “world power” after engaging in a conflict with Iran<\/a> “on somebody else\u2019s word.”<\/p>\n

“I mean, I guess we\u2019re not a world power anymore,” Gallego told MS NOW host Chris Hayes. “I was in some pretty hard times during the war at a very young age. And it just drove me mad.”<\/p>\n

Gallego\u2019s comments came in response to Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a>, who told reporters at a press conference earlier that day, “We knew there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn\u2019t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”<\/p>\n

Hayes played a clip of Rubio’s comments and cited Gallego’s post on X reacting to Rubio’s remarks that read, “So Netanyahu now decides when we go to war? So much for America First.”<\/p>\n

Gallego, who served in the Iraq War as a U.S. Marine, argued that the Trump administration did not enter the conflict in Iran of its own volition.<\/p>\n

“The fact that these guys just went to war on somebody else\u2019s word \u2014 nobody decided to say, \u2018Hey, you know what? What is the best interest of the men and women of my country first?'” the senator said. “Nobody decided to go and be like, \u2018Guess what? Don\u2019t go to war. If you go to war, we\u2019re not giving you the intelligence. We\u2019re not going to give you the support. We\u2019re not going to give you the bombs.\u2019 All these things you could have done.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Instead, [the Trump administration] said, \u2018You know what? We\u2019re going to go with you,\u2019” Gallego continued. “And I think that really pisses me off, to be honest.”<\/p>\n

The senator continued, lamenting that “young American men and women are dying because of these idiots,” and drawing a comparison to what was taking place at the beginning of the Iraq war.<\/p>\n

“These idiots that are just willing to sacrifice U.S. men, U.S. women, without any real thought about what they\u2019re doing and what the consequences are going to bring to these families,” he asserted. “You know, it\u2019s just I feel like \u2014 I feel like I\u2019m repeating, you know, what I saw 20 years ago. I don\u2019t really know what else to tell you.”<\/p>\n

Later in the interview, Gallego slammed President Donald Trump<\/a>, arguing the administration had not properly planned the campaign and that such action could have unintended consequences.<\/p>\n

“This president hasn\u2019t planned longer than a couple of days,” the senator claimed. “To keep saying it\u2019s going to be a day, day two, two weeks, four weeks, five weeks, who the heck plans wars like that? That is not professionalism. That is not top-rate military planning for all outcomes. And that\u2019s why there\u2019s six men dead and maybe even more going forward, because this administration did not plan for it.”<\/p>\n

On Monday, Trump sent an official notification to Congress about the U.S. strikes against Iran, justifying the military action.<\/p>\n

In a letter obtained by Fox News, Trump told Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, that “no U.S. ground forces were used in these strikes” and that the mission “was planned and executed in a manner designed to minimize civilian casualties, deter future attacks, and neutralize Iran’s malign activities.”<\/p>\n
