Here’s how Trump attacked Iran without Congress approval

President Trump authorized military strikes against Iran without seeking congressional approval, according to reports on events from Saturday, February 28. The strikes targeted Iranian facilities and were framed as a response to escalating tensions and alleged Iranian-backed actions in the region.

Officials described the operation as limited and aimed at degrading Iran’s ability to conduct attacks against U.S. interests. The administration argued that rapid action was required to deter further threats and protect American personnel abroad.

Reaction from lawmakers varied, with some urging swift congressional oversight and others defending the executive branch’s decision to act quickly in the interest of national security. International responses called for de-escalation and renewed diplomatic channels to address ongoing tensions.
