Fury from Congress at Trump's 'illegal' attack on Iran after no foreign wars promise and chilling warning US troops may DIE
Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly informed the bipartisan congressional
'Gang of 8' intelligence heads shortly before the strikes.
But the administration did not seek formal congressional approval, which is a prerequisite to war, according to the US Constitution.
Trump's unilateral action is now setting off a firestorm of criticism as lawmakers slam his 'illegal' strikes.
Congressman Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky and staunch anti-Trump lawmaker, and Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, plan to force a vote next week on their Iran War Powers resolution.
The legislation would block any action taken by the US military without prior congressional approval. It's unclear how it would, if at all, impact Trump's ongoing military campaign.
Massie posted on X shortly after Trump's video address condemning the president's 'acts of war unauthorized by Congress.'

Trump promises to hit Iran 'with a force that has never been seen before' as dozens of US military bases are targeted after Iran launches 'the most ferocious offensive operation in HISTORY'
Khamenei, Iran's leader of 37 years, and members of his close family were decimated by bombardment from the US and Israeli's Operation Epic Fury in Tehran.
Trump, however, hit back in a midnight Truth Social post that read: 'Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!'
In response, the IRGC said it was carrying out a 'sixth wave' of 'extensive missile and drone' attacks on 27 US military bases. The extent of the damage is not yet clear.
It comes as Iran formally confirmed that Khamenei was killed in his home office. 'To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return,' an Iranian news agency said.

'I will not plead out to something I didn't do': Firearms instructor cleared after lengthy court battle
- Stephen Daniel Cord was cleared of all criminal charges against him after a lengthy legal battle.
- Cord faced accusations of stealing and selling guns from his employer.
- Cord's attorney says inadequate bookkeeping by Cord's employer led to the false allegations.
"It is terrifying to see 'State of Utah vs. Stephen Daniel Cord.' I don't have words for what that feels like," Cord admitted. "I can't even express the feeling that it feels to be under the thumb of a system that big."
But as the case began to unfold and the state shared its evidence with Cord, it soon became apparent that the real problem was an inadequate system of bookkeeping at the store, Huff said.
