据简报消息人士透露，周二在国会山举行的闭门简报会上，特朗普政府官员告诉议员们，伊朗的“沙希德”（Shahed）攻击无人机构成重大挑战，美国防空系统将无法拦截所有此类无人机。
简报中的两名消息人士告诉CNN，国防部长皮特·赫格斯eth和参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军承认，这些无人机带来的问题比预期的更为严重。已知这些无人机低空低速飞行——这一特性使其比弹道导弹更难被防空系统拦截。另一位熟悉简报内容的消息人士称，官员们试图淡化对这些无人机的担忧，并指出海湾国家伙伴一直在储备拦截弹。
随着与伊朗的战争升级，可能引发全球能源危机并使中东局势不稳定，官员们正在国会山向议员们通报情况。总统唐纳德·特朗普周二表示，伊朗大部分军事设施已被“摧毁”，新的打击目标是伊朗领导层。

一位熟悉简报内容的消息人士告诉CNN，官员们对美国将如何防止伊朗沦为失败国家的问题不屑一顾，并表示政权更迭是次要目标。在向议员们介绍情况时，他们重申了特朗普最近提出的目标：摧毁伊朗的导弹能力、其海军、终结其核武器野心，并阻止该国向激进组织提供武器。
根据一位熟悉简报内容的消息人士称，官员们并未指出他们认为下一任最高领导人会是谁。前最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊大阿亚图拉上周被美国和以色列杀死，特朗普称许多潜在继任者在此次行动中已被击毙。寻找继任者的复杂过程正在进行中。
议员们在会议结束时对冲突可能持续多久的预期大相径庭。阿拉巴马州共和党参议员汤米·图伯维尔表示，包括国务卿马尔科·卢比奥在内的简报人员提出了美国介入冲突将在三到五周内结束的时间表——这与总统本人的一些公开言论相呼应。但密苏里州共和党参议员乔希·霍利表示，他认为官员们没有传达可能的结束日期。“在我看来，这听起来非常开放式。”他说。
众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯也表示，简报人员暗示战争可能持续数周。
“在没有任何证据表明美国或其在该地区利益面临迫在眉睫威胁的情况下，没有解释为何决定发动这场‘选择战争’。”他说。
民主党人杰弗里斯回避了关于他是否会支持政府提出的补充国防资金请求的问题，他告诉CNN：“目前，我们面前的是恢复国会权威的决议，因为政府未能寻求国会对这场无休止战争的支持。”
杰弗里斯发表上述评论之际，民主党人对冲突中消耗的弹药数量以及这对美国在该地区及其他地区防御的影响越来越感到不安。
亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利是参议院武装部队委员会成员，他警告称“我们没有无限的库存”。
“伊朗确实有能力制造大量‘沙希德’无人机、弹道导弹（中程和短程），并且储备了大量武器。所以在某个时候……这就变成了一个数学问题：我们如何重新补充防空弹药？这些弹药从哪里来？”凯利说。
与此同时，当被问及尽管国会未在授权使用武力方面发挥作用，他是否会称美军行动为战争时，众议院议长迈克·约翰逊称其为“一次行动”。
“这是一次危险且重要的行动。我们必须采取行动，因为存在迫在眉睫的威胁，但没有宣战。”他说。
国会尚未投票授权对伊朗发动战争，这遭到民主党人和一些共和党人的强烈批评，他们将这场冲突与国会投票授权的阿富汗和伊拉克战争相提并论。支持特朗普行动的共和党人则称，伊朗行动类似于奥巴马总统对利比亚的干预，当时奥巴马并未寻求国会批准。
预计本周在众议院和参议院都将提出的要求特朗普政府继续军事行动前必须获得国会批准的法案，都将以失败告终。

Trump administration officials told lawmakers during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to intercept them all, according to a source in the briefing.
The drones, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine acknowledged, are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, two sources in the briefing told CNN. They are known to fly low and slow – a feature that makes them more able to evade air defenses than ballistic missiles. Another source familiar with the briefing said the officials made an attempt to downplay concerns about the drones and noted that Gulf state partners had been stockpiling interceptors.
The officials were on the Hill briefing lawmakers as the war with Iran escalates, threatening to spark a global energy crisis and destabilize the Middle East. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that most of Iran’s military installations have been “knocked out” and that new strikes have targeted Iranian leadership.

The officials, a source familiar with the briefing told CNN, were dismissive of questions about how the US would prevent Iran from becoming a failed state, and they said that regime change was an ancillary goal. In their presentation to lawmakers, they reiterated Trump’s recently laid out goals: to destroy Iran’s missile capabilities, its navy, end its nuclear weapon ambitions and stop the country from arming militant groups.
The officials also did not indicate who they thought the next supreme leader would be, according to a source familiar with the briefing. The former supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed by the United States and Israel last week, and Trump has said that many of the potential successors have been killed in the operation. The complex process of finding a successor is underway.
Lawmakers emerged from the meeting with vastly different expectations on how long the conflict could drag on. Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama said the briefers, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, presented a timeline for US involvement in the conflict to be wrapped up in three to five weeks — echoing some of the president’s own public comments. But GOP Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, said he believed the officials did not communicate a possible end date. “It sounded very open-ended to me,” he said.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries also said the briefers indicated that the war could drag on for weeks.
“There’s no explanation as to what actually prompted the decision to pursue this war of choice, in the absence of any evidence that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America or American interests in the region,” he said.
Jeffries, a Democrat, sidestepped a question about if he’d back a request from the administration for supplemental defense funding, telling CNN, “Right now, what’s in front of us is the resolution to reassert congressional authority because of the failure of the administration to seek support from Congress for this endless war.”
Jeffries’ comments come as Democrats grow increasingly uneasy about the amount of munitions that have been used in the conflict and what it could mean for US defenses in the region and beyond.
Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat from Arizona who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, warned that “we do not have an unlimited supply.”
“The Iranians do have the ability to make a lot of Shahed drones, ballistic missiles, medium range, short range and they’ve got a huge stockpile. So at some point … this becomes a math problem and how can we resupply air defense munitions. Where are they going to come from?” Kelly said.
Meanwhile, pressed on whether he would call the US military action a war despite Congress’ lack of role in authorizing force there, House Speaker Mike Johnson called it “an operation.”
“It’s a dangerous operation and an important one. We had to act because there was an imminent threat, but there’s not a declaration of war,” he said.
Congress hasn’t voted to authorize war with Iran, prompting sharp criticism from Democrats and some Republicans who compare the conflict to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, which lawmakers voted to authorize. Republican defenders of Trump’s action say the Iran campaign is like President Barack Obama’s intervention into Libya where he did not seek congressional approval.
Measures in both the House and the Senate that would require Trump to get congressional approval to continue the military campaign are both expected to fail this week.
