United States Deliberation: Trump to Decide on Intervention within Two Weeks
Politics The world remains on tenterhooks, waiting for an answer from President Trump on whether the US will actively engage in the ongoing war between Israel and Iran[3]. However, recent events have revealed that the US has already taken direct military action within Iran, striking nuclear facilities in a move that marks the most significant American military action within the country in decades. These operations aim to cripple Iran's nuclear capabilities but carry the risks of environmental damage and potential radioactive material leaks. In response, Iran has threatened retaliation, and allied groups like the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have threatened renewed attacks on US forces in the region. The strikes have sparked controversy domestically, with questions arising about the constitutionality of using military force without congressional authorization and concerns about the risk of prolonged conflict[1].
