Thurman says senators remain "dialed in" on Iran, praises military successes and urges diplomacy on Strait of Hormuz

A questioner asked whether senators should remain in Washington given the situation with Iran and whether U.S. troops were in specific locations. Senator Thurman said senators "stay very dialed in" regardless of whether they are in session and that members maintain regular contact with the administration about Iran. He said the U.S. has achieved "a high level of military success" and emphasized diplomatic efforts to get shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz open again.

Thurman cautioned that conversations with international partners and counterparts in Iran and the Middle East are ongoing and that senators are watching developments closely. He did not announce any change in Senate scheduling or personnel deployments during the exchange.
