Congressman says Trump violated congressional measure on Iran

Congressman says Trump violated congressional measure on Iran Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna has condemned the Trump administration's renewed strikes on Iran, arguing they violate a congressional measure intended to limit further military action without approval from lawmakers. "These strikes are a blatant violation of the War Powers Resolution that we passed," Khanna wrote on X. "Trump must stop this war now — or we will take him to court to compel him to do so." The comments came after Congress approved a resolution requiring the president to either halt military operations against Iran or seek congressional authorisation for further action.
