Murphy denied base access Claims Pentagon hid war cost

Date unknown

Goodman reports Chris Murphy's account of being refused entry to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar after a Hegseth travel restriction earlier in the year. Murphy says this never happened on his previous congressional visits and alleges a deliberate Pentagon campaign to conceal the consequences and cost of the U.S.–Israeli war on Iran. Concealment remains his allegation.

Chris Murphy says the Pentagon denied him access to Al Udeid Air Base during his Qatar visit. Democracy Now places the refusal after Hegseth's earlier travel restriction. Murphy says previous congressional visits never encountered such a denial and alleges a deliberate campaign to conceal the consequences and cost of the U.S.–Israeli war on Iran. The alleged concealment remains his interpretation; no Pentagon response or exact denial date is aired.
