House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is demanding President Donald Trump and his senior officials provide justification for the U.S. military’s recent strikes on Iran. During a Monday press conference, Jeffries criticized the Trump administration’s actions, asserting that the operation lacked legal and constitutional justification under the War Powers Act. He emphasized that the administration had not presented evidence to warrant the strike, which targeted three of Tehran’s major nuclear facilities.
Jeffries called on Trump’s officials to appear before Congress to explain the rationale behind the operation, which he argued could not be justified under U.S. law.
