Democrats Call for Trump’s Impeachment Over Iran Strikes Without Congressional Approval

In Brief:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Trump’s Iran attack violates the Constitution.

She claims the unauthorized military action constitutes grounds for impeachment.

On June 21, Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated that President Trump’s decision to launch strikes on Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval “absolutely and clearly constitutes grounds for impeachment.” Speaking to NBC, AOC said the action was a flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act, emphasizing that Congress was not consulted prior to the military escalation. The calls for accountability come just hours after Trump confirmed U.S. strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, conducted in coordination with Israel. The incident has sparked a heated debate over executive power and military oversight.
