Trump ordered a military strike on Iran without congressional approval

President Donald Trump ordered a military strike against Iran. The action was taken without seeking approval from Congress, raising legal questions about the president's authority to use military force.

Reports describe the lead-up to the order, including Trump's doubts about nuclear negotiations and a flight on Air Force One. An investor who was with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort just before the U.S. and Israel struck Iran shared details of their meeting. Critics argue the strike, which targeted Iranian leadership, was pursued without a clear plan for the aftermath.
