What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The National Iranian American Council filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., against President Donald Trump regarding his administration's military campaign against Iran. The organization argues that the ongoing operations, which include airstrikes and a naval blockade, are unconstitutional because Congress has not declared war. The suit references President Trump's comments regarding the conflict, noting he stated he avoided calling it a war because he needed congressional approval.
