War Powers & Airstrikes: The Constitutional Clash Over Trump’s Iran Offensive | June 23, 2025 | Hour 2
We continue our in-depth discussion of President Trump's recent decision to authorize military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites—a move that has sparked intense debate both in Washington and around the world. The strikes, which targeted three key facilities believed to be central to Iran’s nuclear weapons development, have been praised by some as a necessary show of strength. However, critics of the president are raising serious constitutional and legal concerns.
Among the most vocal opponents is Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who, along with several other progressive lawmakers, argues that the president's actions violate the War Powers Act. According to AOC, the decision to launch a military operation without congressional approval oversteps the authority granted to the executive branch and sets a dangerous precedent for unilateral military action. She and others have called for an immediate congressional review and potential legislative pushback.
