Trump’s Iran Strikes Prompt Calls for Congressional Vote

Outlets agree that Trump ordered U.S. strikes on Iran and that lawmakers criticized the action or called for Congress to weigh in, including through war-powers votes. Left-leaning outlets frame the strikes as an unauthorized war and stress efforts to constrain Trump. Center outlets focus on disputes over congressional authority, often pairing criticism with Trump’s rationale or varied reactions from local officials. Right-leaning outlets split between defending the strikes and highlighting Republican and Democratic criticism, especially concerns about authorization.
