Classified Intelligence on Iran: The Guardian

The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio conducted a closed briefing for a group of leading lawmakers in Congress regarding Iran, reports The Guardian.

The meeting included prominent members from both parties in the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as the chairs and key members of the intelligence committees from both chambers.

It is noted that this specialized group receives classified intelligence from the White House, which may concern preparations for large-scale military operations. Details of the briefing's content have not been disclosed.

The meeting took place just hours before the president's annual address to Congress, during which Donald Trump stated that Tehran would never be able to acquire nuclear weapons.
