"I won't use the word 'war', they don't like the word 'war' because you're supposed to get approval [from Congress]."
"So I will use the word 'military operation,' which is really what it is. It's a military decimation."
President Trump stated he avoids the term 'war' concerning the U.S.-Israeli actions in Iran to sidestep accountability from Congress. He acknowledged that only Congress can declare war under the Constitution. While some military operations can be conducted without congressional approval, experts note there is no existing authorization for the current conflict. Trump referred to the situation as a 'military operation' instead of war, despite having previously labeled it as such. Over 50,000 U.S. troops are currently deployed in the Middle East.
