The war in Iran continues, with the Trump administration continuing to put lives at risk. More than 50,000 US service members have been deployed, 800 have been wounded, and 18 have died since Feb. 28 of this year. President Trump has described the conflict as “small potatoes.” Congress has not formally declared war, but it has an important role in decisions about US military action.
