Overnight, the Associated Press reported the issue centered on highly sensitive intelligence concerning Russian anti-satellite weapons currently under development.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/federaltimes\/congress\/2024\/02\/14\/house-intelligence-committee-chair-warns-of-national-security-threat\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP24045646110413.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">House Intelligence Committee chair warns of national security threat<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">A senior congressional aide said he understood the threat relates to a space-deployed Russian anti-satellite weapon that may or may not be deployed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby partially confirmed those reports on Thursday, but declined to give specifics on the weapon. Kirby said the weapon would be based in space, but was not currently in orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is not an active capability that has been deployed,\u201d he told reporters at a White House briefing. \u201cAnd though Russia\u2019s pursuit of this particular capability is troubling, there is no immediate threat to anyone\u2019s safety. You\u2019re not talking about a weapon that can be used to attack human beings or cause physical destruction here on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several members of Congress were scheduled to receive a briefing on the issue later on Thursday. Kirby said that any anti-satellite capability \u201cshould be of general concern because there are a number of private and public satellites circling the Earth every day,\u201d but there is not a need for immediate international response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would not speak publicly about our strategic deterrent capabilities one way or the other,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we\u2019re taking this potential threat very, very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kirby declined to say whether White House officials were upset with Turner for making news of the threat public, deferring questions to the congressional committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/intelligence.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1361\" target=\"_blank\">Turner issued a statement Thursday<\/a> saying that his panel \u201cworked in consultation with the Biden Administration to notify Congress of this national security threat\u201d and that administration officials were informed of his announcement before it was released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kirby said U.S. officials are in contact with Russian representatives about their concerns. Relations between the two countries have been strained by American support for Ukrainian forces in their fight against Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House
