Sen. Mark Warner says he saw 'no intelligence' of imminent threat from Iran

Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday he had not seen any intelligence indicating that Iran intended to launch a preemptive strike before the U.S. and Israel launched a joint military operation against the country.
“I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States of America,” Warner said in a Sunday morning appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
President Donald Trump said in a video posted to social media early Saturday morning that his objective in launching the attack was “to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime.” But his administration has yet to present any public evidence that a possible attack from Iran on U.S. assets or allies was impending.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed seven members of the Gang of Eight — a group including the top leaders of each chamber and the heads of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees which the administration is required to notify of most intelligence operations — before the attack.
