The Pentagon is set to brief on recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites, marking President Trump's first decisive action amid rising tensions. Trump hailed the strikes as a major military achievement, insisting that Iran's nuclear capabilities have been fully destroyed. His administration faces criticism from Democratic leaders for potential constitutional violations and risks to American personnel. While Republicans support the action, citing a longstanding need to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, some worry that these military actions could escalate into prolonged conflict, contrary to Trump's prior commitments to wind down foreign interventions.
"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," he said in an address from the White House Saturday night.
"The President gave Iran's leader every opportunity to make a deal, but Iran refused to commit to a nuclear disarmament agreement," Johnson said in a statement Saturday night.
