Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., on Sunday indicated he had not reviewed any intelligence to indicate that Iran was planning pre-emptive strikes on American bases, casting doubt on a claim from Trump administration officials.

Though the U.S. has not officially stated that Tehran was planning its own attacks, numerous outlets have reported statements from anonymous administration officials that Iran was doing so. But Warner, the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he said nothing to substantiate that assertion before the strikes.

“I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States of America,” Warner told CNN. He further warned Americans against assuming that the conflict would be swiftly ended.

“For anyone to pretend or assume that this is over at this point, that Iran is not going to continue to strike back — thank God, so far it appears we have not lost any of our service members — but the president himself said on Friday night when he launched this war that he expected casualties,” he added.

Warner made the comments prior to confirmation from U.S. Central Command that three American service members had been killed and five more injured.
