Donald Trump says I don't need Congress permission to bomb Iran.

When asked by The Hill if there was legal authority to bomb Iran without Congress permission, the president said: “have”

But we've had Congress next to what we're doing... and I think they appreciate this”, the president told The Hill.

I like to have it on my side, but I don't legally need to do that. We were too close to the decision maybe to attack. Then I decided not to. We didn't destroy anybody, even”

I was willing to make this decision for a certain time and decided not to do it because it was not proportional”, he said.

Trump on Thursday cancelled a military attack on Iran after the Islamic Republic dropped a American Army threat near the Strait of Hormuz.
