Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is drafting a formal authorization for the use of military force in Iran, aiming to establish clear parameters for any potential operation.
The move comes as the Trump administration has limited congressional involvement in decisions related to Iran, prompting renewed efforts in Congress to define the scope and constraints of military action.
The draft seeks to provide a framework that would guide any future U.S. military engagement with Iran, outlining conditions, duration, and oversight mechanisms to ensure accountability.
Details on specific provisions, timeline, and triggers within the proposed authorization were not disclosed in the available report.
