The U.S. military, under President Trump's orders, struck Iran's Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities with 30 Tomahawk missiles. Trump's decision to attack Iran has faced criticism from members of Congress, who argue that it is "unconstitutional." U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders stated, "As you all know, the only entity that can take the country to war is the U.S. Congress. The President does not have that right."

The airstrike by the U.S. on three nuclear facilities in Iran, namely Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, has become the target of criticism from members of Congress.
"THE PRESIDENT HAS NO SUCH RIGHT"
According to a report by The Hill, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders stated during a rally in Oklahoma that President Trump's decision to attack Iran is "extremely unconstitutional." Sanders remarked, "As you all know, the only entity that can lead the country to war is the U.S. Congress. The President has no such right."
REPUBLICAN CONGRESS MEMBERS ALSO CRITICIZED
While many members of Congress from the Republican Party, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson, support the decision to attack Iran, there are also critics. Republican Representative Thomas Massie stated in a post on the social media platform X that the attack on Iran is "unconstitutional."
Another House member, Warren Davidson, commented in a post on X that "even if President Trump's decision is fair, it's hard to think of a constitutional justification."
DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS CRITICIZE "CONGRESS DID NOT GIVE TRUMP AUTHORITY"
House member, Democratic Party member Yassamin Ansari, stated in her post on X, "Donald Trump has engaged in illegal military action against Iran without congressional authorization and at the risk of being dragged into another endless war. I am calling for an emergency session to vote on the War Powers Resolution in Congress."
Democratic member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also stated in her post on X that Trump's decision "absolutely and clearly constitutes grounds for impeachment." Ocasio-Cortez expressed that Trump has taken the risk of starting a war that would trap the U.S. for generations.
Democratic House member Don Beyer also stated in a post on X, "President Trump has no constitutional authority to take us to war with Iran without congressional authorization, and Congress did not grant this authority." Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine had introduced a resolution called the "War Powers Resolution" on June 16 to prevent the U.S. from entering military conflict with Iran without congressional approval.
