Trump sends official notification to Congress on strikes against Iran
The strikes targeted Iran’s missile and command facilities to protect U.S. forces and allies while ensuring maritime commerce flow, with no U.S. ground troops involved, Trump said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump notified U.S. Congress of strikes on Iran, saying the full scope and duration of operations remain unknown while seeking a quick and enduring peace.
- Recalling Operation Midnight Hammer, the administration said Iran's missile arsenal posed a threat to U.S. forces, vessels, and civilians, citing ongoing risks as justification for the strikes.
- Quoting the presidential notification, the administration described precision strikes on February 28, 2026, against ballistic missile sites, maritime mining capabilities, air defenses, and command-and control nodes, with no U.S. ground forces used.
- Iran's retaliation spread to multiple countries, increasing civilian and shipping risks as it launched missiles and drones at U.S. assets and allies, while world leaders urged de-escalation.
- Under the War Powers Resolution, Congress must be notified within 48 hours, and lawmakers are preparing a vote this week, with leaders confirming briefing the Gang of 8 on time.
