Going it Alone: Trump's Attack on Iran is Full of Bravado, Light on What Comes Next

Few in the Western world are mourning the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the opening salvos of the U.S. and Israeli war on the Islamic Republic.

But the decapitation of Iran’s clerical regime “crossed a red line” for the surviving Iranian authorities and provoked swift retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases and Middle East allies in nine regional countries.

Trump told a news briefing Monday that he expected the mission to take four to five weeks to destroy Iranian ballistic missile stores, Iran’s naval forces and all components of nuclear weapons construction. Trump claimed he had to take action to protect U.S. troops and territory from an “imminent attack” by Iran, whose nuclear architecture he had proclaimed “totally obliterated” eight months ago after a 12-day U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign.

Then as now, Trump ignored the constitutional imperative that Congress vote on behalf of the American people on a declaration of war against a foreign adversary. The massive bombing campaign that began early Saturday is the seventh military aggression launched by Trump since he returned to the White House barely one year ago.
