Trump Attacks Iran Nuclear Sites Amid Congressional Constitutional Dispute

News summary

President Donald Trump ordered U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, targeting key sites with bunker-buster bombs designed to eliminate weapons of mass destruction, a move he justified as necessary to eradicate a threat. The strikes sparked sharp debate in the U.S. Congress, with Republicans largely praising Trump's decisive action, while many Democrats condemned the attacks as unconstitutional and a violation of Congress's war powers, calling for investigations and emergency sessions. Commentators like Stephen A. Smith criticized Democratic calls for impeachment during the ongoing geopolitical tensions, arguing Trump acted within his constitutional authority to protect national security. Iran, meanwhile, vowed to rebuild its nuclear program, with their nuclear chief asserting preparations to restore production despite the recent damages, drawing sharp rebuke from figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson who called Iran irrational and untrustworthy. Internationally, India's Congress party criticized Trump's actions as contradictory to his calls for diplomatic talks with Iran, emphasizing the importance of peace and dialogue over military aggression. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over presidential war powers, the future of U.S.-Iran relations, and the broader Middle East stability.
