WASHINGTON, D.C March 3, 2026– U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) said Tuesday she is “more worried now” about the ongoing military conflict with Iran following a closed-door classified briefing by the Trump administration.
In a post on X accompanied by a video of her statement, Warren wrote: “I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran. I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.”
The briefing is part of a series of urgent sessions for lawmakers as the United States and Israel continue joint strikes against Iranian targets that began in late February 2026. The operation has targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile programs, air force, navy, and air defenses, with President Donald Trump stating the campaign could last four to five weeks or longer.
Warren, Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel, has been among the strongest Democratic critics of the action. She has previously called the war “illegal” and a “betrayal of the American people,” arguing it violates the U.S. Constitution by bypassing congressional approval and risks dragging America into another open-ended Middle East conflict.
Congress is now debating war powers resolutions aimed at limiting the president’s ability to continue the campaign without explicit legislative consent. Lawmakers from both parties have pressed the administration for clearer details on objectives, costs, risks to U.S. troops, and an exit strategy amid reports of American casualties and Iranian retaliatory attacks in the Gulf region.
The Trump administration maintains the strikes were necessary to neutralize imminent threats from Iran’s nuclear program and regional activities, with top officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth briefing Congress to defend the mission.
Warren’s comments come as questions continue to mount on Capitol Hill over the rapidly evolving situation, which has already led to the deaths of several high-ranking Iranian officials and raised fears of broader regional instability.
This is a developing story. Life News Agency will provide updates as more details emerge from congressional proceedings and the conflict zone.
