New missile attacks in Iran as Trump administration set to update Congress
Israel and the U.S. launched new missile attacks into Iran on Tuesday as the Trump administration is set to brief members of the U.S. House and Senate on the fourth day of the conflict.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and others will update members of Congress Tuesday as six American soldiers have been killed in the operation so far.
President Donald Trump is meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Ahead of the meeting, Trump said the bombings have “knocked out” Iran’s Navy and Air Force.
“They have no Navy, it’s been knocked out. They have no Air Force, it’s been knocked out. They have no air detection, that’s been knocked out,” Trump said. “Their radar has been knocked out, and just about everything has been knocked out.”
