US EditionTrump administration postpones classified briefings for lawmakers on Iran
- The Trump administration postponed classified briefings for lawmakers on recent U.S. strikes against Iran's nuclear program scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
- The delay followed criticism from Democratic leaders who said they had not been properly briefed and accused the administration of making the strikes a partisan exercise without congressional oversight.
- The military strikes, conducted under the name Operation Midnight Hammer, deployed around 125 aircraft—including B-2 bombers—and launched more than 70 Tomahawk missiles at Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities, leading to cybersecurity warnings of possible retaliatory attacks by Iranian actors.
- Senator Adam Schiff warned the action might accelerate Iran's bomb development and urged Congress to pass a war powers resolution, while President Trump claimed the nuclear program was 'completely and totally obliterated.'
- The postponement and lack of briefings fuel legislative tensions and calls for clearer oversight of military actions, highlighting ongoing disputes over executive authority and transparency.
