The State Department and the US Department of Defense canceled three meetings about Iran with Congress without giving specific reasons, even without explanation.

Aides in the US Senate and House of Representatives confirmed that the State Department had postponed two meetings with Congress to report on the Iran crisis planned yesterday. A US defense official and his aide on the same day also confirmed the Pentagon canceled the meeting on Iran with the House Armed Forces Committee today.

US lawmakers are expected to have a meeting to hear the State Department report on embassy security, while the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will listen to senior diplomats presenting countermeasures. Iran's Trump administration and bases use force in this country. However, both meetings were rescheduled at the last minute.

John Rood, the US deputy defense secretary, is expected to present the report to the House Armed Forces Committee at today's meeting. However, a Pentagon spokesman said the Department of Defense is rescheduling the meeting time to a reasonable extent.

The decision to cancel the meeting came as several MPs, both Democrats and Republicans, continued to question the cause and legal grounds for killing Iranian General Qasem Soleimani on January 3. After the air raid, the US House of Representatives passed a resolution preventing Trump from going to war with Iran and the Senate will soon vote on this issue.

The canceled meeting of the State Department yesterday was originally intended to focus on the situation in Burundi, but the topic was changed to a security issue at the embassy at the request of parliamentarians. According to CNN sources, the State Department official in charge of embassy security did not receive information about imminent threats to the four embassies as President Trump once said.

The source added that the ministry had not given any warning about the risk of attacks on the US embassy before the airstrike killed the General Gen. Soleimani, Iran's second most powerful official.

A State Department spokesman and senior official said the ministry had sent a global warning to all US embassies before the air strike, but the announcement did not specifically mention the embassy. and not mentioning the imminent danger of an attack.

"The government canceled the entire meeting. We knew they would say this was a force majeure situation, even though the meeting was actually delayed for several days," an official said. However, a Republican official said the cancellation was simply due to "schedule changes".

However, an assistant in the US Congress said that they had not received plans to reorganize meetings from the two ministries. "We did not understand why the meeting was canceled. The staff were surprised," the person said.

The US State Department currently declined to comment for this story.

After Washington's air strike killed General Soleimani, Tehran responded with a missile strike on a military base with US troops stationed in Iraq. The two countries have made a number of "downgraded" moves, but within the United States continue to argue over the cause and legal grounds for killing General Soleimani. Many US lawmakers accused Trump of being over-parliamentary, calling his airstrike a decision to trigger unnecessary tensions.
