WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, said the Donald Trump administration didn't provide Congress with any "real briefings or intelligence" before launching the massive military operations in Iran early Saturday morning.

"The president barely mentioned Iran during the longest State of the Union speech in history. He failed to define the objective," Reed said in a statement.
