Congress demands answers: Classified briefing on Tuesday

Operation Epic Fury entered a deadly new stage on Monday, March 2, 2026, as U.S. Central Command confirmed a fourth American service member has died from injuries sustained in Iranian retaliatory strikes. Meanwhile, tensions are boiling over on Capitol Hill as lawmakers demand a classified briefing for Tuesday, March 3, 2026, following President Trump’s unilateral strikes on Iran. Members of both parties are moving to fast-track a War Powers Resolution to rein in the executive branch after "Operation Epic Fury" was launched without congressional approval.
