CIA Director joins Marco Rubio in rare Iran briefing, sparking military action rumors

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a rare Iran briefing on Tuesday afternoon to the "Gang of Eight," or the congressional leaders typically informed of sensitive intelligence and covert operations. CIA Director John Ratcliffe's attendance as a ninth official sparked speculation about potential military action. Journalist Adam Cochran suggested Ratcliffe's presence signaled either an imminent or already-executed U.S. attack, speculating Trump could announce strikes during his State of the Union address.
