Despite a month of intense U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, missile sites, and military infrastructure since February 28—including recent hits on Isfahan—President Trump has not sought nor obtained a formal congressional declaration of war, as required by Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Lawmakers from both parties have criticized the unilateral action under the War Powers Resolution, demanding debate and authorization amid reports of potential ground operations. Iran rejected a U.S. 15-point ceasefire proposal, retaliating with threats to U.S. interests in the Gulf starting April 1, while Trump signals the conflict could wrap in weeks without a deal. Traders watch for congressional votes or escalation that might force a declaration, though historical precedent favors executive-led campaigns without one.
