Media Miss by the left: Khanna, Massie seek vote on Iran war powers vote

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie are joining forces on legislation that would require congressional authorization before any U.S. military strike on Iran.

The U.S. has increased its air and naval presence in the region as Iran expands uranium enrichment, commercial oil tankers face attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, and Tehran intensifies its crackdown on domestic protests. Khanna and Massie argue that Congress — not the president alone — must decide whether the country enters a new conflict.
