After the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear facilities, the White House sent Republicans on the Hill a memo, which was obtained by NOTUS, detailing how they want Congress to message the strike.
“Iran was a nation on the threshold of having a nuclear weapon,” the memo reads, a statement that was recently challenged by U.S. intelligence.
The talking points focus on the Iranian government’s history, saying “Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terror and has targeted Americans since the regime took power in 1979.” It adds that “a federal court has held Iran responsible for the 1983 bombing in Beirut that killed 241 American servicemembers.”
