Constitutional & Legal Issues - The Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war, while the President serves as commander-in-chief during a declared war [2] - Significant legal debate exists regarding what constitutes a "war" domestically, considering duration and goals [2][3] - International law considerations include assessing intelligence to determine if military action was a defensive maneuver, involved an imminent threat, and was a proportional response [3] - The White House is limiting intelligence sharing with Congress, raising concerns about transparency and oversight [4] Checks and Balances & Congressional Oversight - Concerns are raised that the current administration believes Congress has no role in reviewing executive actions, mirroring arguments made in courts [6] - Traditionally, presidents from both parties have briefed Congress on intelligence matters, highlighting the current administration's deviation from this practice [7][8] - Congress has been abdicating its responsibility regarding war powers since World War II, the last time a formal declaration of war occurred [13] - The lack of accountability after military action, specifically regarding providing information to assess the legality under international law, is a key concern [23] International Law Considerations - Under international law, a country can act in self-defense or collective self-defense if there is imminent harm, the action is necessary, and the response is proportional [21][22] - Determining whether a military strike violates international law requires access to pre-strike intelligence [23]

The warmongering and lawless administration in Washington.Is solely and fully responsible for the dangerous consequences and far reaching implications of its act of aggression. The U.S. military attack on the territor ...

Our peaceful nuclear facilities have also been targeted despite their being under full monitoring of IAEA and despite the fact that attacking such facilities are absolutely banned under international law. Israel attacks on nuclear facilities are grave war crimes. We are entitled, tasked and determined to defend our territorial integrity, national sovereignty and security with all force.This is our inherent right. We were attacked in the midst of an ongoing diplomatic process. We were supposed to meet with A ...

Both US intelligence per the testimony of the director of intelligence to Congress back in March and also the IEA have said that there is no unequivocal evidence to suggest that Iran were on the path to build a nuclear bomb. Where does that leave the legality of this war.
