US EditionSanders criticizes Trump decision to bomb Iran as ‘grossly unconstitutional’
- On June 21, Senator Bernie Sanders publicly denounced US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities while speaking in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during his nationwide "Fighting Oligarchy" tour.
- The strikes, announced by President Trump and targeting Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, raise constitutional concerns as Sanders argued only Congress can declare war.
- Sanders and Senator Tim Kaine introduced resolutions aiming to block military action against Iran without congressional approval, supported by some Democratic senators and representatives.
- Sanders stated, “It is so grossly unconstitutional,” and asserted, “The president does not have the right,” emphasizing that “only the US Congress” can authorize war.
- These measures seek to reassert congressional war powers amid ongoing US conflicts, but critics view them as unlikely to prevent escalation or direct military engagement.
