Rubio Briefs Congress on US-Israel Strikes on Iran

He revealed that the U.S. acted preemptively because of an imminent threat to American troops. Officials believed Iran would retaliate right after Israel's attack, targeting U.S. forces across the Middle East. Rubio explained that Iran had already positioned missiles in the south and north, ready to launch within an hour of the initial strike. The administration chose a proactive defense to limit casualties, especially since five American soldiers have died so far in the fighting. Two aircraft carrier strike groups, with about 15,000 troops, remain in the region. The revelation drew sharp backlash from both Democrats and Republicans.
