US EditionMichigan Congressional Delegation Divided on U.S.-Israel Military Operation Against Iran
Michigan lawmakers and local groups respond to US-Israel strikes on Iran, with protests planned amid escalating regional tensions and missile exchanges, officials said.
- On Saturday, U.S. and Israeli forces launched a joint overnight operation in Iran called Operation Epic Fury, and Iran fired missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. bases.
- The strikes aimed to degrade Iran's nuclear capabilities during Ramadan and ongoing talks, as officials said Iran repeatedly refused to dismantle its nuclear program despite diplomacy.
- U.S. officials said the strikes hit IRGC command and missile infrastructure, including air defenses and launch sites, and about 12 hours later the U.S. military reported no casualties despite hundreds of Iranian attacks.
- Congress was notified before the strikes and members of the Gang of Eight were briefed, and lawmaker Jeffries said `Donald Trump failed to seek Congressional authorization prior to striking Iran`.
- When Congress reconvenes, some members vowed to force a vote on war, warning military action 'almost never ends well' and urging the Senate to pass the War Powers Act resolution.
