‘It’s a slap in the face of the United States Congress’: Lawmakers fume as Trump again bombs without their blessing
Trump launches major US strike on Iran without Congress approval, drawing strong backlash from top Capitol Hill Democrats and some Republicans who decry the move as unilateral and a destabilizing overthrow attempt.
Lawmakers express concern that the administration acted without their blessing or formal authorization, signaling heightened tensions over executive control of foreign policy and potential constitutional challenges.
The developing situation underscores deep partisan divides over US interventionism, with critics warning of constitutional overreach and potential risks to regional stability, while supporters argue a decisive action was needed amidst escalating tensions.
