Trump's 'Military Operation' Wordplay Can't Hide Iran War

This article presents a strongly critical frame against Trump's military actions in Iran, using charged language like 'flouting the law,' 'subterfuge,' and 'unconstitutional war' without substantial counterargument or Trump administration rebuttals. The piece centers constitutional scholars, former legislators, and Reason contributors—all critical voices—while Trump's own justifications are presented only as direct quotes used to indict him.
