Global News Podcast · US Congress receives classified briefing on war with Iran · 4 Mar 2026 podcast

Well, those remarks are

led to suggestions that the United States had effectively been pulled into a conflict by one of its allies.

And that prompted questions to President Trump, who asserted otherwise, saying that it was his opinion, as he put it, that Iran was about to stage a strike on the U.S.

and that that was what had dictated the timing.

And then we saw a climb down really from Mr. Rubio attempting to row back those original comments and saying that President Trump had indeed acted on the timing that gave the United States the greatest chance of success.

So as well as that, I think we can expect a lot of questions about the strategy involved.

and the likely duration of this conflict that Marco Rubio will have been facing.

President Trump, of course, has said it could take four to five weeks.

But there is concern, even amongst members of his own party, that Republicans could face pushback at the polls if it goes on indefinitely.

Yes, with the midterm elections coming up at the end of the year.

Is Congress likely to back a vote on curbing Donald Trump's war powers in Iran?

Unlikely, I think, given that ultimately it would be up to President Trump himself to approve and sign off on any such measures.

But Democrats and some Republicans, in fact, believe nonetheless that it's essential for Congress to weigh in on such an important matter, given that there are American lives at risk here.

And indeed, the

U.S.

military has released the names of the first service members who died in this conflict.

They range in age from 20 to 42, and they were members of an Army Reserve unit based in Iowa that was setting up a makeshift operations center in Kuwait.

Now, President Trump has said that further such casualties are likely in this conflict.

And briefly, the Trump administration also coming under fire for not preparing properly to evacuate citizens or to warn them in time in the Gulf region.

That's right.
