Bill Cassidy tells @margbrennan, adding, “there needs to be that dialogue with the American people.” Cassidy (R-LA) says Vice President Vance described to GOP senators a long-term strategy of economic pressure on Iran, keeping oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz and “continued selective operations.” The administration originally said the war would last four to five weeks. It is now in its sixth month.
