US lawmakers see no Trump plan for Iran following strikes

Authorities say there is no clear day-after plan from the United States for Iran after joint U.S.-Israeli strikes killed much of Tehran’s leadership, drawing bipartisan concern in Congress. Lawmakers from both parties warned the administration has not outlined a strategy or objectives for the follow-up period and regional stability.

Officials emphasized the need for a coordinated plan to prevent escalation, protect U.S. interests, and avoid unintended consequences. They urged Obama to articulate how to deter further aggression while maintaining regional security and alliance commitments.

Debate intensified over diplomatic, military, and economic tools, with lawmakers calling for measurable goals, risk assessments, and a clear timeline for action. The discussions reflect bipartisan concern about the path forward after a high-stakes strike campaign.
