GOP Sen. Mike Lee blasts officials for 'insulting and demeaning' Iran briefing

President Donald Trump's close, conservative ally Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, was livid following a classified briefing that members of Congress received Wednesday by top officials on the decision to order an airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, which brought tensions with Iran to a boiling point. While most Republicans came out of the briefing with praise for the administration's handling of last week's drone strike that killed Soleimani, Lee said he was left utterly shocked and insulted that administration officials allegedly told senators they shouldn't debate and discuss military action against Iran.
