White House moves to limit sharing of some classified info with Congress after Iran leak

  • On June 23, 2025, President Trump ordered a military strike on Iran's nuclear program involving over 125 aircraft and 70 missiles targeting uranium sites.
  • The strike followed reports of Iran's nuclear activities but occurred without prior briefing of senior Democratic lawmakers, sparking accusations of partisanship and oversight failures.
  • The Pentagon announced a classified briefing for Congress on June 24 to explain the strike, amid concerns about Iran-linked cyber threats and a terrorism advisory in place until September 25.
  • Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary, explained that the strike had been planned for several months due to pressing national security issues, and that congressional leaders were only notified after the military aircraft were safely clear of the target.
  • The event intensified debate over war powers, congressional oversight, and risks of escalation, as lawmakers demanded transparency while political leaders opposed further unauthorized strikes.
