Senators are set to meet with top national security officials Thursday as some lawmakers question President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites and whether those strikes were ultimately successful.

The State Department is expected to hold a news briefing at 2 p.m. EDT. Watch live in our video player above.

The classified briefing, originally scheduled for Tuesday, also comes as the Senate is expected to vote this week on a resolution that would require congressional approval if Trump were to order another strike on Iran.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are expected to brief the senators.

Democrats, and some Republicans, have said the White House overstepped its authority when it failed to seek the advice of Congress. They also want to know more about the intelligence Trump relied on when he authorized the attacks.
