The Trump administration informed Congress about its unsuccessful Yemen mission days after the attempt was carried out, in the same classified notification that was sent to Capitol Hill about the drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, sources say
Washington The Trump administration informed Congress that it had unsuccessfully targeted an Iranian military official in Yemen days after the attempt was carried out, apprising lawmakers of the operation in the same classified notification that was sent to Capitol Hill regarding the drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, according to several sources familiar.
News of the additional operation in Yemen, which occurred on the same day as the strike on Soleimani, first became public last week and has fueled questions about the administration's legal authority to take military action against Iran without congressional approval.
