GOP Congressman Calls Iran Strikes Act of War
Following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the UN Security Council convened an emergency session, with Secretary-General Guterres urging restraint and a renewed commitment to peace. President Trump declared the strikes essential to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions, while Iran condemned the action as a violation of international law. The attacks drew mixed reactions, with some U.S. officials and allies praising the move, while others, including some Republicans, criticized the bypassing of Congress and warned of potential escalation. Iran responded with missile strikes against Israel, further intensifying regional tensions.
