Legal Questions Arise Over U.S. Military Strikes on Iran and Presidential Authority

President Trump cited imminent threats and nuclear concerns as justification, though some claims lack detailed evidence. Legal experts debate whether these actions exceed presidential authority, especially without explicit congressional approval, highlighting the role of the War Powers Resolution in limiting military engagement without Congress.
