A White House official said Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will brief members of Congress by phone on the agreement with Iran, according to an N12 report. The briefing follows a series of high-level US diplomatic contacts with Iranian representatives in recent days. Separately, Trump envoys Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to arrive in Qatar on Monday to promote the ongoing negotiations, extending the administration's push for a deal. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Witkoff had been slated to brief Congress earlier in the day; the phone briefing now appears to be the format. The Qatari leg of the effort follows weekend reports of Qatari mediation and a round of talks in Switzerland last week involving Vice President JD Vance and Kushner. No further details on the timing of the congressional briefing or the Qatar visit have been disclosed.
