Overview

  • Rep. Al Green filed a formal impeachment article charging Trump with abusing presidential powers by ordering weekend strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites without congressional authorization.
  • The White House defended the president’s ‘peace through strength’ strategy, saying he fulfilled his commander-in-chief role by obliterating Iran’s nuclear program and securing a ceasefire.
  • U.S. forces deployed seven B-2 bombers to drop 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs in a surprise, precision operation against the targeted facilities.
  • A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has held since the U.S. intervention, marking a significant de-escalation following a 12-day conflict.
  • With Republicans holding a 220-212 majority in the House and senior Democrats cautioning against a vote, the impeachment effort faces long odds.
