Karoline Leavitt Says Hakeem Jeffries Did Not Answer ‘Courtesy’ Call on Iran Strikes
- Early Sunday local time, the U.S. launched attacks against Iranian nuclear facilities located in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, targeting sites connected to Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
- Before the strikes, the White House reached out to leaders from both parties in Congress, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who was contacted around 6 p.m. with limited information; however, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was not reachable until after the attack occurred.
- Following CNN’s initial claim that leading Democrats were not informed prior to the strikes, the White House spokesperson publicly condemned the report and called for a retraction, which CNN later issued, clarifying that Senator Schumer had been contacted before the military action.
- Jeffries said he learned about the strikes on Twitter and stated, "I asked for a gang of eight briefing," noting the group has only received courtesy calls to leadership but no detailed briefing as of Monday.
- Congress plans a classified briefing on the Middle East for Tuesday at 3:00 p.m., amid divided responses and ongoing debate over the strike's legality and the need for congressional authorization.
