美国众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（R-路易斯安那州）将美国近期与以色列对伊朗发动的打击描述为一项防御性措施，他在周一晚间的机密简报会后表示：”以色列决心无论有无我们都会采取行动”。
约翰逊在简报会后对记者说，以色列认为伊朗的能力构成了生存威胁，并准备在不参与美国行动的情况下开展军事行动。他表示，以色列的评估影响了美国的决策过程，以色列”决心在自卫中采取行动，无论是否得到美国的支持”。
议长称，政府官员在支持此次行动前必须权衡对美军和地区资产及利益的风险。
“他们必须评估对美国、我们的军队、我们的设施以及我们在该地区及其他地区资产的威胁。根据我们掌握的情报，他们确定协调应对是必要的，”约翰逊表示。

约翰逊保证，如果美国没有采取行动，特朗普政府将会被国会追究，因为如果”掌握了可能发生此类袭击的重大情报，为何迟迟不行动”。
“我确信他们做了正确的事，”他说。
参议员马尔科·卢比奥（R-佛罗里达州）证实以色列已准备好对伊朗采取行动，并表示总统”做出了非常明智的决定”。
“我们知道以色列会采取行动，我们知道这将引发针对美军的袭击，”他对记者表示。”我们知道，如果我们不在他们发动攻击前先发制人，我们将面临更高的伤亡。”

参议院情报委员会高级民主党议员、弗吉尼亚州参议员马克·华纳在简报会后表示，他认为在周六的袭击前不存在”迫在眉睫的威胁”。
“伊朗对美国没有迫在眉睫的威胁，这是对以色列的威胁，”他说。”我们认为对以色列的威胁等同于对美国的迫在眉睫的威胁，那么我们就处在未知领域了。”
“我认为此次行动的目标在过去4到5次发生了变化，”他补充道。

卢比奥坚持称此次行动并非针对伊朗政权更迭，而是要摧毁其对地区构成威胁的能力——重点针对弹道导弹和海军力量。
他没有说明袭击是否会延伸至核设施。
“我确实认为，我们和以色列的行动有充分的理由，”参议院武装部队委员会主席罗杰·威克（R-密西西比州）对记者表示，他认为行动有”充分的正当理由”，但未进一步阐述。
众议院外交事务委员会主席布莱恩·马斯特（R-佛罗里达州）在接受采访时表示，他认为政府官员在袭击前几天充分说明了美国面临的威胁程度。
“我认为这在很大程度上是公开信息。总统非常清楚地阐述了这一点，具体细节超出了我能透露的范围，但肯定会在政府准备好的时间公布，这不是我该说的，”马斯特说。
“但更紧迫的威胁性质——我正在与[特别代表史蒂夫·维特科夫]、[贾里德·库什纳]、卢比奥以及其他参与谈判的人员进行沟通，在这10天的倒计时窗口中，当时的威胁情况可能是最紧迫的高风险信息。”
他还表示，民主党人和共和党人在简报会上对”迫在眉睫的威胁”的看法存在明显分歧。
“作为一名军人，我认为，如果我看到敌人的机枪巢，在我看来，这就是迫在眉睫的威胁，”马斯特说。”但对民主党人来说，除非那挺机枪正在向你扫射、枪管发烫，否则就不是迫在眉睫的威胁。我们看待威胁的方式截然不同。”

Trump admin warned lawmakers Israel was ‘determined to act with or without us’ before massive Iran strikes
Published March 2, 2026 7:49pm EST | Updated March 2, 2026 10:49pm EST
Speaker [Mike Johnson], R-La., described the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran as a defensive measure, saying, “Israel was determined to act with or without us” following a classified briefing on Monday evening.
Johnson told reporters after the briefing that Israel viewed Iran’s capabilities as an existential threat and was prepared to conduct operations regardless of U.S. participation. He said Israel’s assessment shaped American deliberations, and it was “determined to act in their own defense here, with or without American support.”
The speaker said administration officials had to weigh risks to U.S. forces, regional assets and interests before supporting the operation.
“They had to evaluate the threats to the U.S., to our troops, to our installations, to our assets in the region and beyond. And they determined, because of the intelligence that we had, that a coordinated response was necessary,” Johnson said.

Johnson said he guarantees that if the U.S. had not acted, the Trump administration would have been hauled in by Congress and asked why they waited if they had “existential intelligence, knowing that that would happen.”
“I am convinced that they did the right thing,” he said.
Rubio confirmed that Israel was prepared to act against Iran and said the president “made a very wise decision.”
“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces,” he told reporters. “And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties .“

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., a top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, emerged from the briefing and said he did not believe there was an “imminent threat” prior to Saturday’s strikes.
“There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. It was a [threat to Israel],” he said. “We equate a threat to Israel is the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States. Then we are in uncharted territory.”
“We have seen the goals for this operation change now, I believe 4 or 5 times,” he went on.

Rubio insisted the operation was not about Iranian regime change but about taking out its capabilities as a threat to the region – focused on ballistic missiles and naval capacity.
He did not say whether strikes would extend to nuclear facilities.
“I do believe there is more than adequate justification for our American and Israeli actions,” Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker, R-Miss., told reporters he believes there is “more than adequate justification for our American and Israeli actions,” without saying more.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital in an interview afterward that he felt administration officials did a good job of illustrating the threat level faced by the U.S. in the days leading up to the strikes.
“I think that’s largely been very open source. The president laid that out, you know, very clearly. It does go beyond that to what I can’t get into, but it goes beyond that. I’m sure it’ll come out in the administration’s good time, but it’s not for me to say,” Mast said.

“But the more immediate nature of threats — I’m going through the negotiations with [Special Envoy Steve Witkoff], [Jared Kushner], Rubio, others that were a part of having those conversations and throughout that 10-day window of, you know, let’s call it countdown to make a deal, the threats that were going on in that window is probably the high-side information that you have.”
He also said there was a lot of daylight between what Democrats and Republicans in the briefing considered an “imminent threat.”
“It’s like, for me as a soldier, right, if I see an enemy machine gun nest, that to me, given that it’s an enemy machine gun nest, is an imminent threat,” Mast said. “To Democrats, unless that machine gun is burning up its barrels firing at you, it’s not yet an imminent threat. And those are the two separate ways that we’re looking at it.”

On February 26th, the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran in coordination with Israel. The offensive campaign has resulted in the death of 49 top Iranian leaders, including the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Six U.S. service members have lost their lives in Iranian counterattacks.
