It won't be good for oil prices if Iran decides to choke off 20% of the world's oil supply by mining the Strait of Hormuz. Not to mention other cargoes.

 

53,000 ships transit the Persian Gulf year in year out.

Two carrier strike groups in the Strait of Hormuz (If Nimitz has turned up yet) so good luck mining it. Drones and missiles will be the issue.

He hasn't declared war. Declaration of war needs congressional approval. As it is the US is not at war with Iran so no congressional authorization needed.

So, is it right to attack another country if it seems reasonable and you can achieve your targets that way?

 

That's how most sports are played, attack your opponents targets while defending yourself from their attacks on yours.

 

Are you anti-sport too?

Read this article and educate yourself. As I said he didn't need congressional authorization. If you disagree then support your argument rather than acting like a petulant schoolboy with your comments.

Does Trump have the authority to order U.S. strikes on Iran?

His Article II powers include authority not only to order the use of military force to defend the United States and U.S. persons against actual or anticipated attacks, but also to advance other important national interests. Presidents of both parties have deployed U.S. forces and ordered the use of military force, without congressional authorization, on numerous occasions.

Right, that's why trump said Obama would need congressional approval before a strike on Iran.

Many comments are from folks who the other day were berating him for not making up his mind, when he said something like he would decide in 2 weeks, now he has decided once again they are doing the same?

I have infinitely more faith in these two than a president who tried to instigate a coup and suspend democracy. Hopefully this attack doesn't lead to a declaration of war because that would give Trump vastly more power, and that's the last thing the US and the world needs.

"Trump declared a state of national emergency in response to a nonexistent “invasion” by Venezuelan gangs. Imagine what he will do when the United States is actually at war with a real country, one that many Americans fear."

It could be by attacks on shipping in the straits of Hormuz. It wouldn't take much to bottle of shipping there. 

The Houthis could once again launch attacks on Saudi oil facilities.

Biden didn't get congressional approval before striking Yemen, so what's your point? Trump has not declared war either so it was not needed.

Still the same browser. Trump has other meanings, hence no automatic capitalisation.

 

So he can say what he wants because he doesn't know what he's talking about. I'll agree with the latter part.
