AOC Says Trump's Decision To Strike Iran Is Impeachment-Worthy

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) thinks President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Iran is grounds for impeachment.

In a fiery X post made hours after confirmation of the Saturday strikes, the Democratic party’s most prominent progressive wrote, “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.”

“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations,” it continued. “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

While other Democrats have condemned Trump for acting without congressional approval, Ocasio-Cortez’s comments appear to be her party’s strongest rebuke of America’s move to join Israel’s war on Iran.

During a Sunday appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) suggested any impeachment efforts would be a lost cause as he joined his colleagues in urging congress to pass a War Powers Act to limit further military action.

After announcing the attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities on Saturday night, Trump told Americans that the nation would now be forced to abandon its nuclear enrichment program and “make peace.”

In a separate Truth Social post earlier that evening, he warned that “ANY RETALIATION BY IRAN AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL BE MET WITH FORCE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS WITNESSED TONIGHT.”

Following the strikes, Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, took to social media to declare that his country “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people.”

“The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences,” his statement said.
