Liberals in the U.S., including Democratic lawmakers such as Sen. Tim Kaine, are calling President Trump’s strikes on Iran “an illegal war.” In opposition, Kaine is leading a War Powers resolution to halt the operation.

First, Senator Kaine is mistaken because there is no war with Iran. the United States has not declared war on Iran. The last formal U.S. declaration of war was against Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary in 1942.
