AOC, Celebrities Back Trump Impeachment After Iran Strikes

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for President Donald Trump's impeachment after he ordered U.S. airstrikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities without congressional approval, arguing this violated Congressional War Powers and risked prolonged conflict. Trump defended the strikes as a 'spectacular military success,' directly insulted Ocasio-Cortez on social media, and pledged not to escalate unless Iran retaliates. Ariana Grande and other celebrities, including Mark Ruffalo, publicly supported Ocasio-Cortez’s impeachment call. The strikes heightened regional tensions, with Iranian officials warning of possible retaliation. The impeachment effort has polarized U.S. lawmakers, with some Democrats joining Republicans to block proceedings as progressive voices continue to criticize Trump’s foreign policy. The debate highlights ongoing divisions over presidential war powers and Congress’s authorization role.
