Donald Trump faced the threat of an unprecedented lawsuit in Washington on Saturday as Democratic congressman Ro Khanna accused the president of ordering fresh US airstrikes on Iran in 'blatant' violation of the War Powers Resolution and warned he was prepared to take the administration to court.
The warning followed a report, highlighted on social media by journalist Acyn, that the United States was carrying out new strikes on Iranian targets. The broadcast, which featured footage labelled 'unclassified' from US Central Command, suggested the situation was deteriorating and raised doubts over whether any ceasefire arrangements could hold.
