Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to hold a classified briefing with a bipartisan group of US senators regarding the ongoing conflict with Iran and options to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
According to an Axios report cited by Iranian media, Steve Witkoff, described as Donald Trump's envoy for negotiations with Iran, is scheduled to hold a classified briefing with a select bipartisan group of US senators.
As reported by حامیان پزشکیان, a channel aligned with the Iranian president's political faction, and echoed by the prominent Iranian outlet آخرین خبر (Akharin Khabar), the evening session is intended to brief lawmakers on the ongoing war against Iran.
The pro-government channel stated that senators are eagerly seeking updated information regarding Trump's next steps in the conflict. Lawmakers are reportedly looking for insights into the prospect of a diplomatic solution, as well as the available options for reopening the Strait of Hormuz following recent regional escalations.
The Iranian sources faithfully translate the core of the Axios report but distinctly adopt the framing of a war against Iran while simultaneously referring to Witkoff as an envoy in negotiations.
