Overview
- Sen. Tim Kaine in the Senate and Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna in the House are driving resolutions that would require President Trump to seek approval for continued hostilities against Iran.
- Even if the measures pass, the White House could veto them, making an override unlikely and the effort largely a pressure tactic to put members on record.
- U.S. Central Command said three American service members were killed and five wounded during Operation Epic Fury as Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region.
- Multiple outlets report that strikes targeted Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s compound and say he was killed, a claim not uniformly confirmed by official U.S. channels.
- Republican leaders largely back the operation, while Democrats and a small number of Republicans press to rein in the president, and some lawmakers say they were notified only after strikes began.
