Source: msn/Axios

8h


U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is planning to brief a small bipartisan group of senators on the war in Iran in a classified setting Tuesday afternoon, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Why it matters: Senators are hungry for real-time information on President Trump's next moves in Iran, the prospects for a diplomatic solution and thoptions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

  • There is also heightened interest in details about any lines of communication between the Trump administration and Iranian officials.


  • What we're hearing: The briefing was organized by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.

  • Senators were still being invited as of late Monday.

    Is Kegsbreath in rehab or something? Do we need some kind of "proof of life" confirmation?

    It seems that everyone BUT him (Bessent, Wright, and now Witkoff) have been appearing as spokespeople to give remarks/briefings on what is going on with this military operation in Iran.

    is Witkoff qualified to brief them on? Investment opportunities? This administration is a sick joke. A dangerous, sick joke.
