Top House Democrats raised their concerns after a classified security briefing on the recent U.S.-backed strike in Iran was postponed, delaying what they say is a necessary opportunity to evaluate the U.S. government’s actions in Iran and assess the situation in the Middle East.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on June 24 that the White House had confirmed the briefing will now take place on June 27. The session is expected to include senior administration officials and cover developments involving Israel and Iran following escalations in recent weeks and the U.S. strike over the weekend.
