Republican members of Congress largely supported President Donald Trump’s decision to take out Iranian General Qassem Soleimani after a classified briefing while Democrats weren’t impressed and said they'd still push for a war powers resolution to halt military efforts against Iran.

“It was probably the strongest and most decisive briefing that has ever been conducted in that classified setting, having attended a number of these.
