A scheduled classified briefing for Congress about the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities was suddenly postponed, causing frustration among Democratic lawmakers. The postponement fueled suspicions that the White House is concealing information about the effectiveness of the strikes. Preliminary assessments suggested that the bombing only delayed Iran's nuclear program by a few months without incapacitating the underground facilities. Lawmakers, including Senator Chuck Schumer, demanded answers regarding the administration's strategy and the implications for U.S. interests, amid concerns over President Trump's remarks regarding Israel and Iran that indicated a lack of clear policy direction.
Why won't they engage with Congress on the critical details: the results of the recent strike, the scope and trajectory of this conflict, the Administration's long-term strategy to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and the potential risks facing American citizens and our service members?
The strikes did not collapse Iran's underground facilities and set back the country's nuclear timeline by only a few months.
