Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton criticizes administration after US attack on Iran
Rep. Seth Moulton demands Congress vote on military action after U.S.-Israel strike on Iran, citing lack of briefings and constitutional need for authorization, amid rising tensions.
- On Saturday, the United States and Israel launched large-scale combat operations in Iran, prompting Massachusetts lawmakers to criticize the administration for acting without congressional approval.
- The White House said the strikes aimed to defend Americans by eliminating imminent threats from Iran's nuclear program and long-range missiles, which could soon threaten the U.S. homeland.
- Warning about troop safety, Moulton urged Speaker Mike Johnson to reconvene the House and said Congress must vote to restore its authority over war decisions.
- The strikes quickly prompted counterattacks, raising fears of a longer conflict as lawmakers warned the action risks destabilizing the region and endangers U.S. service members.
- A bipartisan War Powers resolution is already on the floor, and Democrats said they will try to force votes to limit the president's authority, but passage looks uncertain in the Republican-controlled House and Senate.
