Confrontation in Congress Looms Over Iran Conflict
Both President Trump and Iranian leaders signaled their willingness to end hostilities.
A White House briefing angers many in Congress, including at least two Republicans.
A classified briefing on the Iran crisis from Trump administration officials on Wednesday did little to convince Democrats that the killing of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani was justified, and some Republicans were unhappy about the White House’s failure to include lawmakers in the decision-making process.

Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, emerged from the meeting visibly angry, complaining of hollow assurances that lawmakers would be consulted.
The letter comes as U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said through a spokesperson that he is concerned about the impact the conflict between the U.S. and Iran could have on the people of Iraq.
"It is our common duty to make every effort to avoid a war in the Gulf that the world cannot afford. We must not forget the terrible human suffering caused by war. As always, ordinary people pay the highest price," U.N. Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters. "For the Secretary-General, it is important that everyone respect the sovereignty and unity of Iraq."
