Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff are briefing the full House and Senate by phone on Monday afternoon — the first time most lawmakers will hear directly from the administration on efforts to end the war with Iran.
The briefing comes as the White House has confirmed Witkoff and Jared Kushner will fly to Doha for high-level meetings, but Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister has called reports of scheduled technical talks untrue.
US President Donald Trump said Tehran had requested the meeting, which he said would take place on Tuesday in the Qatari capital.
