U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) has introduced a bill requiring President Donald Trump to obtain congressional approval before launching any military strike against Iran. The legislation would force the president to halt unauthorized attacks and reinforces the constitutional principle that only Congress can declare war.
A similar bill was introduced in the Senate, signaling growing bipartisan concern over unchecked military action. While Trump could veto the measure if passed, legal experts say it increases political pressure on the administration amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions.
The move comes as Middle East instability grows, particularly over recent clashes between Israel and Iran, raising global scrutiny of America’s role in the region.
