“Illegal and a Betrayal” — Elizabeth Warren Accuses Donald Trump of Dragging U.S. Into Iran War

Sen. Elizabeth Warren sharply criticized President Trump’s military action involving Iran, calling it “illegal” and warning that Congress must not allow another prolonged conflict in the Middle East. Warren argued that any sustained military engagement requires congressional authorization and public accountability, framing the situation as a constitutional issue as much as a foreign policy one. Her remarks reflect broader Democratic concerns over executive war powers and the risk of escalation. Supporters of the administration, meanwhile, contend that the strikes were necessary to counter Iranian aggression and protect U.S. interests and allies in the region. The debate now shifts to Capitol Hill, where lawmakers are weighing the scope of presidential authority and the potential consequences of further escalation.
