On February 28, according to CNN, Jack Reed, the top Democratic senator on the Senate Armed Services Committee, issued a statement on Saturday condemning the Trump administration for failing to provide Congress with any "real briefings or intelligence" before launching an attack on Iran. "The President barely mentioned Iran in the longest State of the Union address in history. He did not have clear objectives. Congress received no substantive briefings or intelligence, and there is no compelling reason to take action," the Democratic senator from Rhode Island said in a statement.

February 28, according to CNN, Senator Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, issued a statement on Saturday condemning the Trump administration for failing to provide Congress with any “real briefings or intelligence” before launching an attack on Iran. “The President mentioned Iran almost not at all in the longest State of the Union address in history. He did not specify clear objectives. Congress received no substantive briefings or intelligence, and it is hard to be convinced that there was a reason to act,” the Democrat from Rhode Island said in a statement.
