Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., cheered on a report claiming that more than two dozen Iranian shadow fleet ships have made it past a U.S. military blockade of Iranian ports in the Middle East.
The report from Lloyd’s List states that “While the U.S. military says it has turned around over 20 vessels and ‘completely halted’ Iranian trade, Lloyd’s List Intelligence shows a steady flow of shadow fleet traffic in and out of the Middle East Gulf.”
“Awesome,” Murphy wrote on X in response to the report.
Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday morning that there is "no evidence" that Iranian shadow fleet vessels have made it through the U.S. blockade.
A shadow fleet is comprised of ships used to evade international sanctions.
Murphy, a critic of President Donald Trump, told a crowd at the Global Progressive Mobilization conference over the weekend in Barcelona, Spain, that “Donald Trump and our country is trying to end our democracy.”
“We are not on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. We are in the middle of it,” Murphy said.
