A Lebanese source said the situation has returned to its starting point, and that President Trump does not have congressional authorization to open a war, which is why he is conducting limited strikes. The source added that even if he had approval, the war would not achieve its goals.
A Lebanese source assessed that the situation has returned to its starting point, and that U.S. President Donald Trump's limited military operations are a consequence of his lack of congressional approval for a full-scale war. The source added that even if Trump had such approval, the war would not achieve its objectives. The assessment comes as debate continues over the scope of U.S. military action in the region. The claim is based on a single source and remains unverified.
