Trump ignites debate on presidential authority with Iran strikes and wins praise from Republicans

  • President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, and he confirmed their complete destruction by nightfall.
  • The strikes followed Iran's recent rejection of diplomatic talks and aimed to destroy its nuclear enrichment capacity amid rising tensions.
  • Operation Midnight Hammer involved the use of Tomahawk missiles and bombs designed to penetrate fortified targets, deployed from a range of U.S. platforms including B-2 bombers and submarines.
  • Democrats condemned the strikes as unconstitutional violations of Congressional war powers with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calling them "absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."
  • Republicans praised the strikes as a necessary check on Iran’s nuclear ambitions but acknowledged serious future choices regarding regional security and stability.
