US Congress Questions Trump Admin's Iran War Authority

The United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes on Iran beginning February 28, 2026, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and targeting missile infrastructure, military sites, and IRGC leadership. Iran has retaliated with drone and missile attacks against Israel, Gulf states, and US military positions, resulting in American casualties and regional escalation involving Lebanon, Cyprus, and Kuwait. The conflict has sparked domestic political debate in the US over war powers authority, with the Senate preparing to vote on a resolution to restrain President Trump's military actions.
