Jim Marquardt, professor of politics and international relations, Lake Forest College, explores several critical questions about the bombing campaign launched by the U.S. and Israel.
The bombing campaign launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran in late February marks the most dramatic escalation in a long-running, militarized conflict, one that some maintain originated with Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979. Jim Marquardt, professor of politics and international relations, Lake Forest College, explores several critical questions about this bombing campaign. One addresses U.S. national security. What are the strategic objectives of Operation Epic Fury and has this bombing campaign achieved them? The other pertains to the U.S. Constitution and war powers. Is this use of force by the president constitutional? If so, what authority has Congress, as the representatives of the people, to regulate and terminate presidential warmaking?
