众议院关键共和党人对美国与伊朗的战争日益感到警惕，此前周三与国防部官员的简报会让一些人对他们被告知的战争目标和持续时间感到不满。
简报会中，众议院武装部队委员会的民主党人和共和党人就特朗普政府的整体战略、最终目标以及美国是否会向伊朗派遣地面部队提出了质疑，但许多人离开时仍对所谓的信息不透明表示担忧。
这次闭门简报会的反应是国会共和党人在伊朗战争问题上出现裂痕的最新例证，议员们越来越怀疑是否要为延长冲突花费数十亿美元。几位共和党人表示，除非白宫有明确战略，否则他们将拒绝支持更多战争资金。
众议院武装部队委员会主席迈克·罗杰斯描述“两党议员在最近几次简报会上（包括周三的这次）都感到沮丧”，战争已进入第四周，新的重大资金请求即将到来。罗杰斯称，议员们没有得到关于地面部队计划、最终目标或预期成本等问题的充分信息。
“他们正在向中央司令部和作战指挥部调兵，我们想了解他们正在考虑哪些选项，但没有得到任何细节，”罗杰斯说。“这只是一系列情况中的一个，我们觉得政府在派人来这里时需要更坦诚。他们终于开始派人来了，这是好事，但他们必须在这里告知我们有意义的信息。”
罗杰斯表示，议员们已向五角大楼官员明确表达了关切，后者“接受了意见”，并补充道：“我希望下一次及以后的简报会更有成效。”
共和党众议员南希·梅斯告诉CNN，她因信息不透明而愤然退出简报会，并表示在得到美国可能参与伊朗冲突时长的明确答案前，她会对任何额外资金请求投反对票。她甚至声称，如果所有议员都听到周三武装部队委员会成员收到的简报内容，他们都会反对批准更多战争资金。
“我觉得众议院武装部队委员会在简报会上被误导了，他们没有给出很多答案，”梅斯在会议后表示。“冲突每拖延一天，共和党这边的支持就会减少一分。”
白宫发言人安娜·凯利在给CNN的声明中称：“特朗普总统政府在‘史诗 Fury行动’期间及军事行动开始前已向国会进行简报。迄今为止，国务院、国防部和情报界已为国会成员举行了20次两党简报会，其中包括两次众议院武装部队委员会简报会。总统团队将继续与国会山密切合作，彻底摧毁伊朗政权的弹道导弹能力、海军、武装代理人的能力以及拥有核武器的梦想。”
CNN已联系国防部置评。
共和党众议员克莱·希金斯表示，他个人对简报会感到满意，但称这是“最具争议性”的武装部队委员会简报会。
“我认为议员们进去时就决心不会对政府满意，”希金斯说。“我不觉得这次简报比之前的不专业或不完整。这是一件敏感事务，军事行动正在进行中，我的民主党同事提出的一些问题……感觉是故意难以回答的。”
共和党众议员罗尼·杰克逊称，一些同事希望五角大楼官员能更详细地阐述，而简报人觉得他们能提供的信息有限。
“我猜有些人希望他们能说得更多，但他们觉得自己只能提供这些，”杰克逊说。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊回应议员们日益增长的不满，为特朗普政府辩护。
“他们已经向议员提供了机密简报，每位议员都能获得所需的任何信息，我不确定他们还能多透明，”他说。
参议院武装部队委员会议员周三也接受了简报，但该委员会的共和党人似乎对提供的信息不那么担心。
当被CNN问及是否对政府简报满意时，共和党参议员迈克·鲁兹表示：“我们能得到的任何信息都有帮助，当然，我们总是想要更多。”
“我们正在尽应有的职责，监督责任很重要，在此过程中，我们不断提醒他们，我们期望得到好的答案，有时他们确实做得很好，有时我们要求更多。”
共和党参议员丹·沙利文称，他询问五角大楼代表在实现特朗普定义的目标方面取得了多少进展，他表示对取得的进展感到满意。
“我毫不怀疑这是准确的，”沙利文说。
CNN的扎克·科恩、凯莉·阿特伍德、海莉·布里茨基、萨曼莎·沃尔登伯格对此报道有贡献。

A key group of House Republicans are growing increasingly wary of the US war with Iran after a briefing with Department of Defense officials on Wednesday left some unsatisfied with what they were told about the objectives and length of the war effort.
Briefers faced questions by Democrats and Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee about the Trump administration’s overall strategy, end game and whether the US would put military troops on the ground in Iran, but many left with concerns over what they said was a lack of clarity provided.
The reaction to the closed-door briefing is the latest example that cracks are emerging among congressional Republicans over the Iran war as lawmakers are growing increasingly skeptical about spending billions of dollars to prolong the conflict. Several Republicans have said they will refuse to support any more money for the war without a clear White House strategy.

House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers described “frustration on both sides of the aisle in the last few briefings” — including the one Wednesday — with the war now in its fourth week and a major funding request on the way. Rogers said members did not receive adequate information about plans for ground troops, the end goal or the expected price tag, among other questions.
“They’re moving troops into the CENTCOM and the combatant command, and we want to know more about what options they’re considering. And we aren’t given any details,” Rogers said. “This is one in a series where we feel like the administration needs to be more forthcoming when they send folks over here. That’s good that they finally started sending people over here, but they have to tell us meaningful things while they’re here.”
Rogers said lawmakers made their concerns clear to the Pentagon officials, who “took the message,” adding: “My hope is that the next briefing and those thereafter will be more fruitful.”
GOP Rep. Nancy Mace told CNN she stormed out of the briefing exasperated by the lack of clarity and would be a “no” on any requests for additional funding until she gets answers to her questions about just how long the US may be engaged in the conflict in Iran. She even argued that all lawmakers would be against approving more money for the war effort if they heard the briefing Armed Services Committee members received on Wednesday.
“I felt like the House Armed Services Committee was misled during that briefing. They didn’t have a lot of answers,” Mace said following the meeting. “Every day this drags on the less support on the Republican side.”
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement to CNN, “President Trump’s administration has briefed Congress throughout Operation Epic Fury and before the military action began. To date, the Department of State, Department of War, and Intelligence Community have conducted 20 bipartisan briefings for Members of Congress, including two briefings for the House Armed Services Committee. The President’s team will continue to work closely with the Hill while completely demolishing the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile capabilities, navy, ability to arm proxies, and dreams of possessing a nuclear weapon.”
CNN has reached out to the Department of Defense.
While GOP Rep. Clay Higgins said he personally was happy with the briefing, he described it as the “most contentious” Armed Services Committee briefing he has seen.
“I believe members kind of went in there determined to not be satisfied with the administration,” Higgins said. “I didn’t find it any less professional or complete than previous briefings. This is a delicate thing, an ongoing military operation and some of the questions that my Democratic colleagues were asking … they were like designed to be unanswerable.”
GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson said some of his colleagues wanted the Pentagon officials to elaborate more than the briefers felt like they were able to.
“I guess some people wanted them to elaborate more than they felt like they were able to,” Jackson said.
House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the Trump administration in response to members’ growing frustrations.
“They’ve given member briefings at the classified level. Every member is privy to whatever information they need and I’m not sure how much more transparent they can be,” he said.
Lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee were also briefed Wednesday, but Republicans in that chamber seemed less concerned about the information provided.
When asked by CNN if he was satisfied by the briefing from the administration, GOP Sen. Mike Rounds said that “any information we can get helps. Naturally, we always want more.”
“We’re trying to do our due diligence. Our oversight responsibilities are important, and as part of that, we continue to remind them that we expect to get good answers, and in some cases, they can do a very good job of that. In other cases, we sometimes ask for more,” he said.
GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan said he asked the Pentagon representatives how much progress they had made in satisfying the goals that Trump has defined as his objectives and said he walked away feeling good about the progress made.
“I have no doubt it was accurate,” Sullivan said.
