CNN reported, citing sources, that classified briefings on the US attack on Iran, which were scheduled for Tuesday at the Capitol, have been postponed.
The network quoted two informed sources as saying that the briefing session for all senators has been postponed until Thursday.
Two other sources reported that the briefing session for all members of the House of Representatives was also postponed, without knowing the reason for the postponement or its new date.
Last Saturday, the United States launched a strike using B-2 bombers armed with bunker-buster bombs targeting key Iranian nuclear sites.
The White House said yesterday that President Donald Trump notified House Speaker Mike Johnson of the strikes.
Axios also revealed that a briefing for members of the House of Representatives and Senate on the situation in the Middle East, scheduled for today, has been postponed.
This development comes after Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran following a 12-day war, which prompted lawmakers to demand information.
Despite the ceasefire, some Democrats are still planning to push for a vote to limit the Trump administration's ability to launch strikes on Iran without prior congressional authorization.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said the House briefing "has been postponed," a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Axios. Neither Cole nor the source said when the House briefing would be held.
