Pentagon told Congress no intelligence showed Iran would strike first

Trump administration officials briefed Democratic and Republican staff of multiple Senate and House national security committees on March 1, 2026, acknowledging there was no intelligence indicating Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first. The closed-door session lasted over 90 minutes. Officials argued Iran's ballistic missiles and proxy networks posed a general threat to U.S. interests, but the briefing directly undercut the administration's public justification that the war was a preemptive act against an imminent threat.

Congress Requires Pentagon to Assess Whether AGI Could Reshape Warfare

The FY2025 National Defense Authorization Act mandates the Department of Defense to evaluate whether artificial general intelligence could fundamentally transform military operations and warfare. The law requires an assessment of AGI's strategic implications, governance frameworks, and risks — the first time Congress has explicitly addressed AGI in national security legislation.
