White House doubles down on Iran threats as Republican lawmakers retreat

The White House is continuing its military operation against Iran, stating its objectives will be met within two weeks. Republican lawmakers are expressing concern and retreating from their support, warning they are not being given enough information to make informed decisions about the conflict. Congresswoman Nancy Mace noted a troubling gap between the public justifications for the war and the classified military objectives briefed to the House Armed Services Committee. The administration maintains it does not need congressional authorization for the war, which has reportedly involved destroying a significant portion of Iran's navy.
