Trump skirts Congress over Iran war as Republicans simply step aside | US foreign policy

Donald Trump, the current president, launched a military campaign against Iran without seeking Congressional authorization. Republican leaders in Congress have largely supported this action, stating that the president has the authority to conduct operations without further approval. However, Democrats are increasingly critical of the conflict, arguing it is unnecessary and costly, while some Republicans express concerns about Trump's overreach. The partisan divide on the war is evident, with Democrats opposing the conflict and Republicans defending it as necessary.
