Chuck Schumer: “I just left the classified all-Senators briefing with the administration on Iran strikes. One thing is very, very clear…”

“I just left the classified all-Senators briefing with the administration on Iran strikes. One thing is very, very clear: The briefing raised more questions than it answered. It is why we need to enforce the War Powers Act. I have always been clear: Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. A few days ago, President Trump claimed that Iran's nuclear program was 'totally and completely obliterated.' I asked what information exists to verify the President's claim, and I did not receive an answer to that question. What was clear from today's briefing is that there is no coherent strategy, no endgame, no plan. What are we doing? Anybody who sat in that meeting and is honest with themselves would recognize that we need to enforce the War Powers Act and force the administration to provide answers to some very important questions about Iran and our national security. When the administration is forced to answer questions, we will get more clarity, and maybe they will get more clarity too. So it is an important thing to do.”
