US Officials to Brief Congress on Ongoing Conflict with Iran


(MENAFN) Senior US officials plan to brief Congress on Tuesday regarding ongoing military operations targeting Iran, as stated by reports. The briefing will include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, addressing both the House and Senate in closed-door sessions.

The meetings follow US and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei along with several top security officials. In retaliation, Iran launches drone and missile attacks targeting Israel and US assets in the region.

Several US lawmakers criticize the strikes, calling for an immediate congressional vote to halt what they describe as an unauthorized and illegal military action.
