AI Summary:
Lawmakers say the White House has not clearly explained why the US entered the conflict, what its goals are, or how long it may last. Republicans currently hold a narrow, 53-47 Senate majority. Some Democrats have expressed frustration after the latest closed-door briefing. Reports indicate the attack killed at least 170 people, most of them children. “There seems to be no endgame,” Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal says. Senator Elizabeth Warren raised concerns about the cost of war. Some Republican leaders say the strikes are necessary to curb Iran’s military capabilities, missile programme and regional influence. Republicans have almost unanimously backed Trump’s campaign against Iran. Congress has the authority to declare war, but modern presidents have frequently launched military operations without formal congressional approval. The law allows the president to deploy US forces for up to 60 days without congressional approval, followed by a 30-day withdrawal period if Congress does not approve the action. Some lawmakers and legal experts say the war on Iran highlights the need for stronger congressional oversight of military action. The Trump administration has argued that the February 28 strikes were justified as a response to an “imminent threat”

There is an endgame:
Donald Trump spends years enabling an Israeli war for border expansion, in the end keeping Iran as a radical theocratic dictatorship with which to arm palestinians and justify the slaughter by the Israelis, and in return Donald Trump gains Israeli support in US Election interference from troll farms, PAC money, and other psyops, and also access to Israel’s main exports: walls and domestic surveillance technology.
The intention is for the war not to end. They don’t want the war to end, just like Russia doesn’t want the invasion of Ukraine to end.
And every Republican Senator, all but 2 house members, are 100% on board with this plan.
