While recognizing the inevitable costs of ongoing combat operations in Iran, I acknowledge that the president’s actions were consistent with his legal authority. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 provides the authority for a president to respond to emerging threats — for a limited period of time. Iran’s consistent and increasingly disruptive behavior presents exactly the kind of threat the War Powers Resolution envisions. Left unchecked, Iran would continue to pursue its nuclear weapons capabilities, destabilize the region, threaten our allies, and imperil Americans at home and abroad.
