WASHINGTON—Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) are planning to introduce a resolution to require President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval before ordering U.S. military action against Iran.
The Trump administration has repeatedly threatened military action if Iran doesn’t accept a new deal to curb its nuclear development. Since January, Trump said he has directed two aircraft carrier strike groups to the Middle East, bolstering the U.S. capacity for military action in the region.
