康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲周一表示，他在X平台发帖称多达26艘船只躲过美军侦测的伊朗船只规避美军封锁的报道“棒极了”，当时他是在使用讽刺手法。
墨菲驳斥了有关他为唐纳德·特朗普总统军事战略的缺陷叫好的批评。
“这简直太虚伪了。显然所有这些共和党人都知道我是在讽刺。他们只是不想直面这场战争已经脱轨的事实，”墨菲说。“共和党人不想谈论这个，所以他们试图就讽刺言论制造虚假愤怒。”
墨菲为自己措辞的辩护凸显了自美国与伊朗首次开战以来民主党人一直面临的紧张局面：在批评特朗普政府伊朗政策的同时，又不至于听起来像是在同情地缘政治对手。

与许多民主党人一样，墨菲批评了特朗普轰炸伊朗的决定，最近还批评了计划对伊朗实施海上封锁，以动摇伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的控制——霍尔木兹海峡是全球石油航运的关键水道。
“我们来谈谈特朗普为解决伊朗封锁霍尔木兹海峡问题而提出的疯狂计划：帮助他们封锁霍尔木兹海峡，”墨菲在本月早些时候谈到政府的战略时说。
“他正在犯一个又一个错误。”

共和党怀疑论者在回应墨菲的帖子时认为，墨菲是在为他原本就认为不明智的战略失败叫好。
“一位在任的美国参议员居然积极支持伊朗。太疯狂了。叛徒，”热门保守派账号“Libs of TikTok”在自己的帖子中写道。
墨菲告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这些批评言过其实，称它们是在转移人们对战争政治代价的注意力。

“我们谈论的是一场已经让美国纳税人损失数十亿美元的战争，这场战争让伊朗得以控制霍尔木兹海峡，”墨菲说。“已有十多名美国人丧生。看不到任何结束的迹象。”
当被问及对墨菲帖子的评论时，至少有另一名参议员拒绝置评。
“我对此并不了解，”威斯康星州民主党参议员塔米·鲍德温告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said he was being sarcastic when he called reports that Iranian ships had slipped by a U.S. blockade “Awesome” in a post to X on Monday, responding to the news that as many as 26 vessels had avoided U.S. detection.
Murphy brushed off criticisms that he had celebrated shortcomings in President Donald Trump’s military strategy.
“It’s so unbelievably disingenuous. Obviously, all these Republicans know that I was being sarcastic. They just don’t really want to actually have to answer for the fact that this war has gone off the rails,” Murphy said. “Republicans don’t want to talk about that, so they try to create fake outrage over sarcasm.”
Murphy’s defense of his phrasing highlights the tension Democrats have navigated since the U.S. first began hostilities with Tehran: pushing back on parts of the Trump administration’s Iran strategy without inadvertently sounding sympathetic of a geopolitical adversary.

Like many Democrats, Murphy panned Trump’s decision tobomb Iran and, more recently, voiced criticisms of plans to impose a naval blockade on Iran in an attempt to shake Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for global oil shipping.
“Let’s talk about Trump’s insane plan to fix Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz: helping them close the Strait,” Murphy said of the administration’s strategy earlier this month.
“He is compounding one mistake after another.”

GOP skeptics responding to his post believe Murphy is celebrating the defeat of a strategy he thought was ill-advised to begin with.
“A sitting U.S. Senator is actively rooting for Iran. Crazy as hell. TRAITOR,” the Libs of TikTok, a popular conservative account, wrote in a post of its own.
Murphy told Fox News Digital those criticisms were overblown, calling them a deflection of the war’s political toll.

“You’re talking about a war that’s cost American taxpayers billions of dollars that’s allowed for Iran to control the Strait,” Murphy said. “Over a dozen Americans have been killed. There doesn’t seem to be any endgame.”
Asked to comment on Murphy’s post, at least one other Senator declined to weigh in.
“I’m not familiar with that,” Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., told Fox News Digital.
