Secretary of State Marco Rubio is briefing congressional leaders today on Iran, an administration official told The Daily Signal.
The United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran early Saturday morning in Operation Epic Fury. Trump characterized it as the beginning of “major combat operations.”
Trump confirmed that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed following the strikes, along with 48 Iranian leaders. Four U.S. service members have been killed in the operation so far, the Pentagon has said.
The Gang of Eight is composed of the leaders of the Senate and the House of Representatives and the two chambers’ intelligence committees.
This includes Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.; Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Mark Warner, D-Va.; and Reps. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., and Jim Himes, D-Conn.
On Tuesday, Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, FBI Director John Ratcliffe, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine will brief the full membership of both chambers of Congress, according to Dylan Johnson, assistant secretary of state for global public affairs and communications for the National Security Council.
