US military strikes on Iran, initiated February 28, 2026, alongside Israel targeting nuclear facilities, ballistic missiles, and leadership including Ayatollah Khamenei, continue without congressional declaration of war or Authorization for Use of Military Force, as required by Article I of the Constitution. Bipartisan lawmakers criticize President Trump's unilateral actions under the War Powers Resolution, sparking debates, protests, and no-confidence motions amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions and Houthi escalation. Recent Pentagon briefings confirm airstrikes degrading Iranian capabilities but no ground troops, with Trump signaling potential operation end within weeks absent a deal. Formal declaration remains unlikely given historical rarity since World War II and institutional barriers, though congressional votes could shift dynamics.
