Trump's Conflict Lurches Toward Illegality by Week's End

By the end of this week, President Trump's military actions are expected to cross a legal threshold, making them plainly illegal under international and domestic law. The administration's failure to secure necessary congressional authorization or a UN mandate leaves the operations without legitimate legal cover. Legal experts warn that continued hostilities without proper approval constitute a violation of the War Powers Resolution and the UN Charter. This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing debate over executive war powers.
