The US president may be forced to wage a political battle at home while presiding over a new war in the Middle East.
Vice President JD Vance's past comments calling the War Powers Act "fundamentally a fake and unconstitutional law" have resurfaced following a joint U.S.-Israel military operation against Iran on Saturday. Vance made the remarks in January, shortly after a bipartisan Senate vote advanced a measure to limit presidential military authority, and stated the law would not affect how the Trump administration conducts foreign policy. The U.S.-Israel operation, which killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and wiped out much of Iran's leadership, resulted in three American service members killed and five seriously wounded, according to the Pentagon. In retaliation, Iran launched missiles and drones at U.S. allies in the region, including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait.
Guardrails were tossed aside, as Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered up a battle plan that included strikes on Iran’s leadership.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh told CNN that President Trump crossed "a very dangerous red line" by killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, warning that Iran "has no option but to respond." Following U.S. strikes, Iran launched an unprecedented wave of retaliatory strikes across the Middle East, targeting countries hosting U.S. military bases, including Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, causing civilian casualties and disrupting air and sea traffic. Khatibzadeh said Iran communicated with Gulf Arab states demanding they shut down U.S. bases, and that lacking the ability to strike American soil, Iran would target any facilities under U.S. jurisdiction. The official dismissed diplomacy as an option, characterizing the conflict as "a war of choice" initiated by the Trump administration.
