You don’t think Iran had reached 65% enrichment? I’d love for you to admit that.

rump "vetoing" the War Powers Resolution Act is Constitutionally irrelevant since only Congress can declare war, and their rejection of war in the context of Iran, makes any further military action by Trump against Iran an unconstitutional, and impeachable, act.

It is the plan of the left to consistently impeach Trump after midterms until they are successful. They aren't even denying it. "Any means possible"

However, the USSC has ruled in Chandha that congress does not get a veto.
quote:
To end an unauthorized military conflict using the War Powers Resolution, Congress passes a concurrent resolution directing the President to remove U.S. troops. This measure requires majority votes in both the House and Senate but does not go to the President for a signature.
The step-by-step process operates as follows:
The 60-Day Clock: The process relies on the 60-day limit. After the President deploys forces into hostilities, they must formally report to Congress within 48 hours. If Congress has not specifically authorized the mission, the President must withdraw the troops within 60 days (with a possible 30-day extension for safe removal).
Expedited Procedures: Under the War Powers Resolution, any member can introduce a privileged "concurrent resolution" demanding the removal of forces. This triggers expedited procedures that force both chambers to debate and vote on the measure within specific, compressed timeframes (e.g., within 3 calendar days in the House).
No Presidential Veto: Because this action is a concurrent resolution—which outlines Congressional intent under a specific statute—it does not go to the President's desk and thus cannot be vetoed.
Legislative Action: Alternatively, Congress can use a joint resolution to repeal or terminate an existing Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). These must pass both houses and be presented to the President to be signed into law.For details on the exact text and status of current legislative measures, visit the

The 1983 Chadha Precedent: The broader issue of Congress "limiting" war powers via a one-house veto was severely weakened by the 1983 Supreme Court case INS v. Chadha. This ruling deemed legislative vetoes unconstitutional. As a result, Congress must pass a joint resolution of disapproval to stop military actions, which the President can easily veto.

There are many articles on the subject. You're obviously free to deny the facts, but denial is not a good policy for the US govt in matters like this. Here's an excerpt from a decent CBS news article

How advanced is Iran's nuclear program? Here's what we know as U.S. and Israel launch strikes.
Feb 2026
As of mid-June 2025, shortly before the U.S.'s strikes that month, Iran had enriched some 972 pounds of uranium up to 60% purity, according to estimates from the International Atomic Energy Agency. By comparison, Iran had 605.8 pounds of 60%-enriched uranium in February 2025, and 267.9 pounds a year before that, the IAEA has said. According to the U.N. watchdog's metrics, about 92.5 pounds of 60%-enriched uranium is enough to build a single nuclear weapon if enriched further. That material is just a short step away from weapons-grade 90%-enriched uranium.
The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency estimated last May that it would take Iran "probably less than one week" to produce enough weapons-grade uranium to make its first bomb, if it decided to do so. Actually building a bomb could take somewhat longer: Another intelligence summary from last year found that Iran could make a nuclear device within three to eight months
Here's Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

How quickly could Iran build its first nuclear weapon? Look at China
Jan 2025
How quickly could Iran make an atomic bomb once it has acquired enough weapons-grade uranium? Some nuclear experts argue it would take Iran anywhere between several months to up to a year. But China’s experience shows that Tehran could build a bomb much faster—in as little as three to five weeks.
China built its first bombs some 60 years ago, when it lacked advanced equipment. Since then, Iran has had plenty of time to design a smaller and lighter warhead, more powerful explosives, and more advanced focusing systems. Moreover, China’s weapon was made during peacetime. If China’s weaponeers had been under a tightened schedule or pressured during wartime, they would likely have made a nuclear weapon in less than three weeks.

Iran increased stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium before Israeli attack, UN agency says
Sep 2025
A confidential report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog circulated to member states and seen by The Associated Press said Wednesday that Iran increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels before Israel launched its military attack on June 13.
The report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said that as of June 13, Iran had 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60%, an increase of 32.3 kilograms (71.2 pounds) since the IAEA’s last report in May.
The report stated that this figure is “based on the information provided by Iran, agency verification activities between 17 May 2025 and 12 June 2025 (the day preceding the start of the military attacks), and estimates based on the past operation of the relevant facilities.”
That material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. According to the IAEA, approximately 42 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium is theoretically enough to produce one atomic bomb, if enriched further to 90%.

So operation Midnight Hammer didn't obliterate their nuclear weapons program?
No, it didn't. What it did was prevent Iran from rapidly completing a bomb while the US and Israel began war planning and deployment for the next stage. They later acknowledged that Epic Fury had been in the planning stage for months before the deployment began in January 2026. Sorry you feel betrayed by not being given accurate information in advance of a military operation.

The timing couldn’t be been more blatant. Democrats and 4 worthless RINOs are trying to sabotage negotiations with Iran.
This wasn’t about ending the conflict with Iran. This was about extending it through the midterms.
I am going to start being more critical of Trump
I don't like how he has handled this whole thing
Iran doesn't negotiate
they are Islamic thugs who slaughtered 42000 people earlier this year bcause they were protesting the regime
this has not been handled well the last month
he keeps letting them off the hook after posting tweets "they don't wnat to find out what we willl do them"
they don't do deals
so act accordingly!

Why did Johnson allow this to come up for a vote? What’s stupid about this circus bill is that even if it passes in the Senate, Trump will veto the bill.
