Trump Officials to Brief Congress on Military Strikes Against Iran
(MENAFN) Senior officials from the Trump administration are set to address the full membership of both chambers of Congress on Tuesday regarding active military operations targeting Iran, local media reported Sunday.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are all expected to participate in the closed-door briefings spanning both the House and Senate.
The classified sessions follow a wave of coordinated US and Israeli strikes on Iran that resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei alongside numerous high-ranking Iranian security figures — a seismic development that has dramatically reshaped the regional security landscape.
Tehran responded forcefully, unleashing a barrage of drone and missile attacks directed at Israeli territory and US military assets stationed across the Middle East.
The escalating conflict has triggered sharp divisions on Capitol Hill. A growing number of US lawmakers have publicly broken with the administration, demanding an immediate congressional vote to halt what they characterized as an unauthorized military campaign launched without proper legislative approval.
The Tuesday briefings are expected to face intense scrutiny from both parties, as pressure mounts on the White House to provide legal justification for the strikes and outline a clear strategic path forward amid one of the most volatile flashpoints in the region in decades.
