- Iran did not attack the U.S. or Israel before the strikes.
- No imminent threat was proven;
- The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war (Article I, Section 8).
- The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires presidential authorization from Congress for military action beyond 60 days unless there is a formal declaration of war or an emergency.
Iran said it was going to wipe America, it's allies, and Israel off the map. That is their promise. They were obviously actively trying to make that happen and gearing up militarily and working on nukes. You do not wait until they actually attack to protect yourself. You don't wait for them to have their nuke bombs before trying to stop them. You don't wait until your own people are dead before you do something. That's idiotic. And we don't protect ourselves only if the corrupt United Nations says we can. They can all screw themselves.
As for the absurd notion this is illegal by American law. Again, nope. War has not been declared so Congress doesnt' matter. And it hasn't been 60 days so Congress doesn't need to authorize anything. Nothing unconstitutional about it. Past presidents have done the same thing, notably Obama and Clinton.
