US EditionWhite House moves to limit sharing of some classified info with Congress after Iran leak
UNITED STATES, JUN 27 – Trump administration briefed only top Republicans before airstrikes on Iran and is limiting intelligence sharing with Congress after a leak revealed the strikes set back Iran's nuclear program by months.
- The Trump administration launched Operation Midnight Hammer last weekend, striking Iran’s nuclear program with 125 aircraft and over 70 missiles targeting uranium enrichment sites.
- The strikes followed comprehensive internal deliberations, but Democratic lawmakers were not briefed beforehand, prompting criticism over lack of congressional oversight.
- In response to the strikes, a federal agency responsible for cybersecurity and infrastructure protection issued a terrorism alert, warning that pro-Iranian groups are likely to carry out minor cyber attacks targeting U.S. networks.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth explained that the operation had been planned over several months due to pressing national security issues, while Senator Adam Schiff cautioned that the strike might prompt Iran to accelerate its efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.
- The events increased congressional tensions over oversight, with classified briefings planned and calls for war powers resolutions to restrict future unilateral military actions.
