Bipartisan congressional briefings on the weekend US strike on Iranian nuclear facilities have been postponed as Iran and Israel appeared Tuesday to honor a ceasefire agreement.

“I don’t know if this is good news or bad news but the briefing on Iran has been postponed so we’ll all be able to stay here and work,” House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole said at a committee meeting.
