Trump administration discusses congressional authorization for Iran military operations while military commanders prepare briefing on new strike options
President Trump's team is in active conversations with Congress about authorizing Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing Iranian military campaign, ahead of a Friday deadline imposed by the War Powers Resolution. Simultaneously, CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper is scheduled to brief Trump on Thursday regarding new military options against Iran, including potential 'short and powerful' strikes on infrastructure targets aimed at breaking negotiating deadlocks. Congress departs for a two-week recess Thursday afternoon, complicating the authorization timeline.
