HAPPENING TODAY: Iran Briefing
February 19, 2026
The build-up of U.S. military forces in the Middle East during the past 24 hours is the largest since the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
President Trump appears to be weighing a military strike on Iran that could occur as soon as this weekend. With uncertainty about future U.S. military action, and the Iranian people grappling with a brutal crackdown against protestors by the regime, we are holding a briefing later today to explore what comes next in Iran.
We hope you will join us TODAY at 4:00 p.m. ET.
Sincerely,
Bobby Saferstein
Chief Program Officer, Jewish Democratic Council of America
