House receives classified briefing as new details emerge about US strikes in Iran

House lawmakers will receive a classified briefing on US strikes in Iran on Friday as the Trump administration is projecting confidence in the success of the operation. Follow for live news updates.

• Trump on Iran: President Donald Trump said he would “absolutely” consider bombing Iranian nuclear sites again if he thought it necessary. His comments come as his administration projects confidence in the success of last weekend’s strikes in Iran, but has not provided new intelligence supporting Trump’s claim that its nuclear program was “obliterated.” • Congress split over intel brief: Lawmakers left a classified briefing on Iran today divided along party lines, with Republicans reinforcing their belief that the US strikes were effective, while some Democrats expressed skepticism. • Effort to revive talks: Tehran has no plans to resume nuclear negotiations with the US, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday. Meanwhile, sources tell CNN the Trump administration is engaged in secret diplomatic efforts to bring Tehran back to the negotiating table. • Israel’s military strategy: The defense minister has instructed Israel’s military to prepare an “enforcement plan” aimed at maintaining air superiority over Iran. President Donald Trump reiterated that “nothing was moved” from Iran’s nuclear sites, repeating his claims that enriched uranium wasn’t removed ahead of US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “I don’t believe that they’re going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over a trillion dollars on nuclear, and they never got it together, and nothing was moved from the site,” the president said to CNN’s Jeff Zeleny in the White House briefing room.
