Washington DC, March 4 -- Democratic senators sharply criticised President Donald Trump's handling of the war in Iran after a classified briefing with administration officials on Tuesday (local time), accusing the White House of lacking a clear strategy and dragging the United States into a prolonged conflict without congressional approval.

In a post on X, Senator Chris Van Hollen said lawmakers received little clarity during the closed-door session.

"Today, Congress was finally briefed on Trump's war of choice in Iran. Even behind closed doors, they couldn't get their story straight," Van Hollen said on X. "But one thing is clear: they don't have a clue what the end game is, and it sure as hell isn't making America safer."
