US Strike on Iran Questioned by Lawmakers; Trump Cites Nuclear Program as Rationale

View source

Lawmakers and commentators across both political parties have questioned the United States' military action against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Inquiries have focused on the reasons for the strike and whether the Trump administration was aware of potential challenges in the Strait of Hormuz, situated on Iran's southern coast.

Former President Donald Trump stated that the US attacked primarily due to Iran's development of nuclear weapons, which he claimed threatened the US and Israel.
