Summary

Trump cancelled a classified House briefing on Iran strikes without explanation, allegedly because his team cannot substantiate claims that nuclear facilities were completely destroyed and lacks clarity on the operation's success, including the status of 900 lbs of missing highly enriched uranium. The cancellation raises questions about constitutional authority, congressional oversight, and potential risks to U.S. troops and national security.

    Trump just cancelled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation.    The real reason?  He claims he destroyed “all nuclear facilities and capability;” his team knows they can’t back up his bluster and BS  Here's what they're scared we'll ask:  🧵

    Immediately after the strikes, Trump claimed the nuclear facilities were “completely and totally obliterated.”  He lied. And likely still doesn’t fully know the BDA.  What he does know is that an unsuccessful strike DRAMATICALLY increases the chance Iran races to break out.

    Vance admitted they have NO CLUE about the status of 900 lbs of highly enriched uranium.  The entire logic of the attack was that Iran was imminently building a nuclear weapon.  If that’s the case (not that they’ve shared the intel) then 900 lbs of missing HEU is a HUGE problem

    They also can’t get their briefers on the same page.  Every one of the people who was supposed to come today has a different conclusion on how close Iran was to breaking out and on how successful the operation was.  Tulsi probably still doesn’t know it was cancelled.

    A few other questions I had prepared: How are we protecting US troops in the region from the PMF and other militias? How are we ensuring we keep the Strait of Hormuz open? Is there an elevated risk to the homeland?

    And something I probably should have started with – his team sure as hell wasn’t ready to explain to Congress how this strike was Constitutional.  Or why they broke long-standing precedent & ONLY briefed Republican members of the bipartisan Gang of Eight prior to the strikes.

    I’m hoping for peace. I’m praying for peace. But I will not (and the American people cannot) take Trump’s lies on a topic of this magnitude sitting down.
