WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran's 'potential new leadership' suggests they're open to US talks and Trump is 'eventually' willing, AP source says.

Neguse says Our constitution is crystal-clear: the decision to take our nation to war rests with Congress. President Trump’s reckless and dangerous decision to, yet again, initiate military action without congressional authorization is clearly unconstitutional. Speaker Johnson must reconvene the Congress—immediately — for a vote on the War Powers Resolution.

hickenlooper says President Trump has bypassed his constitutional duty to seek congressional authorization for operations in Iran. By failing to consult Congress, he operates without an articulated goal, strategy, or endgame. This unilateral action ignores most Americans' desire to avoid endless foreign wars, creating the distinct impression of a calculated distraction from his domestic failures including the economy, ICE violence, and the unreleased Epstein files. While we would certainly welcome the fall of Iran’s terror-sponsoring and repressive regime, the President's reckless approach leaves us facing profound, unanswered questions about the new dangers he has unleashed.

Dem Sen John Hickenlooper and Rep. Joe Neguse also saying Congress needs to authorize Iran operations. #copolitics

Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO-06), a former paratrooper and Army Ranger who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement in response to the Trump Administration's “major military operations” and calls for regime change in Iran: “Trump is plunging us into another war in the Middle East. He’s learned nothing from decades of failed conflicts. It’s a war of choice with no clear end game, no authorization from Congress, and little support from Americans. “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism. Americans want us out of the regime change business. “Endless war has cost us thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to pay for health care, groceries, and housing. “This Administration owes Congress and Americans answers. Congress should return to Washington immediately to vote on the War Powers Resolution and ensure the safety of our servicemembers.”

And Dem Rep Jason Crow says Congress & American people deserve answers and says Congress should immediately. #copolitics

With U.S. forces in position, Trump mulls his options for Iran President Trump says he hasn't decided whether to attack Iran. While he weighs his options, a military buildup over the past month means the U.S. now has an expansive presence in the region.

President Trump says he hasn't decided whether to attack Iran. While he weighs his options, a military buildup over the past month means the U.S. now has an expansive presence in the region.

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service."

Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."
