Israel knows their window is closing because trump is getting nervous about continuing the war / his attention span is running out. So I suspect they're going to ramp up the destruction in the coming days, to make use of whatever time they have left.

Well legally, the clock is also running out. Days 1-60 the President can legally deploy and use troops for combat. By late April, Congress has to provide an authorization for use of military force which makes the war legally authorized by Congress. If not passed, the President is legally required to withdraw. This is all theory vs practice though, so late April to late May is how long this conflict can go on legally without Congressional approval. War Powers Act of 1973.

There's this neat trick where congress can just sit on its ass and do nothing, while we blow past the deadline and the war still continues.

RontoWraps Apr 2, 2026 +50
Very possible. That would be quite disappointing. I know they never do shit, but that would be a new low.

They will have to fund this operation eventually. I think that's the next best chance at a congressional fight.

That would in fact actually not be a new low. Clinton and Obama both found ways around the 60 day limit, and neither of them had a congress as sycophantic as Trump has. Modern presidents don’t give a shit about the war powers act.
29
reasonably_plausible Apr 2, 2026 +10
>Modern presidents don’t give a shit about the war powers act. We've only ever had a War Powers Act under modern presidents and they have never given a shit about it. It's not anything new. Presidents give only lip service to it because they maintain that the law is unconstitutional. And Congress doesn't try to actually enforce anything because they know there's a good probability that that's (unfortunately) true.
10
this_curain_buzzez Apr 3, 2026 +2
Fair point. Although regardless of whether it’s constitutional or not, it only exists because the executive branch insists on ignoring the extremely clear roles of the executive and legislative branches laid out in the constitution when it comes to war.

His approach has always been to challenge the law within the gray area and settle in court later. Typically he avoids direct and clear breach of the law and instead uses discardable frontmen and delayed adjudication to continue doing work without stopping to ask for permission and, ultimately, without taking any real legal responsibility.

>His approach has always been to challenge the law within the gray area and settle in court later. As much as I dislike him, yes this is exactly what he's doing & in some cases he has been spiked down. We're really starting to learn that POTUS powers really were super broad and limited only by the honor code until tested.

Honestly, stop. If every time we try to apply the law someone says “oh he won’t follow that” it does nothing to help push the fact that he f****** needs to. You aren’t helping by posting shit like this. Holding him accountable will require us to force him to follow the laws or face consequences. Acting like it will never work is just defeatism.

On this case, yes, US law is currently still being followed. Again, theory vs practice will be tested. I think that the administration really expected to achieve all goals within the 90 day window and as that’s looking less and less likely, the narrative is pivoting.

premature_eulogy Apr 2, 2026 +38
[The 2001 AUMF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_of_2001) grants broad yet vaguely defined authority to use military force against anyone who harbours, aids or abets Al-Qaeda leadership. Which [Iran has consistently been doing for decades](https://extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/zaxdzs5746/files/Joscelyn_Sayf-al-Adl_February-2023.pdf). They never repealed the authorization, and both parties have extensively taken advantage of it in the past quarter of a century: >Between 2001 and 2026, US forces initiated what it labelled "counter-terror" activities in more than 100 countries. Of these, the 2001 AUMF has been used to launch classified military campaigns in at least 22 countries, most notably in Afghanistan, the Philippines, Georgia, Yemen, Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iraq, and Somalia. The Pandora's box of unlimited military action was opened on 9/11 and no Congress has deemed it necessary to close it. If the Philippines and Ethiopia fall under the scope of the 2001 AUMF, Iran absolutely does as well.

I have a hard core trumplican family member who thinks, if trump pulls back for a day and Iran does something He can re-engage and it restarts the clock. I honestly had a hard time conceiving that anyone thought that was true. But Trumps remarks lately that he would leave and bomb again when needed made me think maybe Trump thinks its true also.

Thats when trump will end ops for 2 weeks then begin a totally new not related op in iran.

Yup any day now Trump will chicken out and stop bombing Iran. And he'll look extra silly too, what with sending the USS Bush to Iran but it won't arrive til the 10th or so. Those thousands of marines sent there will be laughing all the way to the TACO stand, and head home any day now without seeing action.

They would be using this for weapons procurement. Extremely justified target, it’ll hurt their ability to resupply.
42
Alocasia_Sanderiana Apr 2, 2026 +16
This argument would also legalize Iran bombing the IRS if they could manage that. Or kill an IRS employee on vacation in Turkey. Civilians who work for governments in roles that do not primarily provide combat functions to the state are supposed to be protected.
16
SeaworthinessSome454 Apr 2, 2026 +36
That’s still another level removed from being the one actually ordering the weapons. Closer but not equal. And this is IRGC, not Irans government. They’re a terrorist organization, not government workers.
36
kal14144 Apr 2, 2026 +5
This justification works for carpet bombing cities too. After all civilians pay taxes which helps for procurement.
5
SeaworthinessSome454 Apr 2, 2026 +14
It’s a couple more levels of separation away than this is but I get your point. That’s how wars used to be fought (and will be again if WW3 breaks out). I think it’s pretty clear that there’s a difference between people working/paying taxes and bombing the place that they use to order weapons tho.
14
kal14144 Apr 2, 2026 +5
It’s not the place they used to order weapons to tho. That’s just how Israel decided to frame bombing civilian revenue generating infrastructure.
5
demonica123 Apr 2, 2026 +2
Civilian is just a term for military supporter who provides non-military services when you get down to it. Without a functional country behind the military, the military stops functioning. Let alone that in a total war scenario, most of those civilians are shifted to military adjacent activities. (Though if you can do that much damage to the country behind the military, you could probably just destroy the military) But generally the total war line of thought has died away since the West hasn't faced an existential war in 75 years.

Shitting themselves. There’s this myth that everyone in the IRGC is a true believer in the ideology, but that’s not the case. The only way to become successful and prosperous in that country is to be affiliated with the regime, so a lot of them are simply opportunists.
11
MrXiluescu Apr 2, 2026 +79
This is hurting allot the IRGC. The Oil Headquarters forms an integral part of the regime’s armed forces, enabling the continuation of their activities and military buildup through profits from oil sales Among the forces that recieved finding through the headquarters were the Internal Security Forces and the Basij, which the IDF noted “murdered thousands” of civilians during the protests that broke out in late December.

Quiet-Thanks-9486 Apr 3, 2026 +5
So the coalition the US is part of is simultaneously waiving sanctions on Iranian oil in order to boost the oil supply (and thereby massively enriching Iran), and also blowing up / threatening to blow up Iranian oil infrastructure and personnel, thereby reducing the supply of oil back down again (and making unsanctioned oil even more valuable). At this rate one of these shitty AI companies with a middle east data center is going to create a creepy AI version of the dead Ayatollah and propose that Trump back it for leadership of Iran.

Seems par for the course.   Kill the guy that had largely not used missiles to target critical civilian infrastructure in other gulf coast states.   Kill the guy that kept a million some barrels of oil on the market per day, clearly a priority of the US when they lifted sanctions.   Getting rid of known quantities, always a good idea.

bryanthecrab Apr 2, 2026 +16
It’s in line with Israel’s agenda. Every time the US seems to be cooling off, Israel attacks Iran to provoke an attack on global energy, which draws the US back in. Israel wants the USA occupying and attacking Iran while they are focusing on taking Lebanon.
16
Siggi_Starduust Apr 2, 2026 +7
The Israelis do seem to be incredibly good at taking out specific people who have an entire country to hide in. Their intelligence really is second to none. Strange then that they somehow had no knowledge of over 3000 combatants planning atrocities a lot closer to home one October a couple of years ago.
