Feb. 28 (UPI) -- While congressional reaction to the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran overnight was largely split along party lines, Democratic and some Republican lawmakers expressed concern that President Donald Trump ordered the strikes without first seeking congressional approval.
Lawmakers -- who had already been pushing to limit Trump's ability to carry out lethal strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean -- said they would renew their efforts to pass a war powers resolution.
Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said he was "opposed to this war" in a post on X Saturday morning.
"When Congress reconvenes, I will work with [Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.] to force a congressional vote on war with Iran," he wrote.
