Trump Officials Brief Senate on Iran Nuclear Strikes Amid Effectiveness Debate

Over the weekend, U.S. forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites, and President Trump sent congressional leaders official notice on Monday about the strikes.
Trump asserted that the strikes thoroughly destroyed the targets, a position endorsed on Wednesday by intelligence officials including Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
However, a classified briefing for senators on Thursday revealed mixed assessments, with some lawmakers and preliminary intelligence reports indicating the nuclear program was set back only a few months.
Senator Chris Murphy said the president was misleading the public about obliteration, while Senator Tom Cotton stated, "Their operational capability was obliterated," reflecting divergent views.
Senators are weighing a resolution requiring Trump to seek congressional approval before more military action against Iran, amid debates over executive authority and risks of extended involvement.
