Pelosi Attacks Trump for Doing What She Supported Obama Doing Repeatedly [WATCH]

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized President Donald Trump following Saturday night’s U.S. military operation that targeted three nuclear facilities in Iran.

The mission, known as Operation Midnight Hammer, was conducted using B-2 stealth bombers and represented the largest operational deployment of the aircraft since 2001.

The strikes targeted Iran’s nuclear infrastructure at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

According to the Pentagon, the operation included more than 125 U.S. aircraft and featured the use of 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators—30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs—on the Fordow facility, which is located deep inside a mountain.

President Trump authorized the operation in response to escalating concerns over Iran’s nuclear enrichment activities.

The Fordow site, in particular, has been under scrutiny by international observers due to its fortified location and advanced enrichment capabilities.

Shortly after news of the operation was confirmed, Pelosi took to X to condemn the president’s decision to carry out the strikes without prior congressional authorization.

“Tonight, the President ignored the Constitution by unilaterally engaging our military without Congressional authorization,” Pelosi wrote.

“I join my colleagues in demanding answers from the Administration on this operation which endangers American lives and risks further escalation and dangerous destabilization of the region.”

Pelosi’s comments were quickly met with public pushback.

A proposed Community Note on her post pointed out that under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the president is authorized to initiate limited military action without prior congressional approval, provided that Congress is notified within 48 hours.

Such operations may continue for up to 60 days before formal authorization is required.

This legal framework has been invoked by multiple administrations from both parties over the past several decades.

Critics of Pelosi were quick to highlight what they described as inconsistency in her position.

In 2011, when then-President Barack Obama initiated a military campaign in Libya without congressional approval, Pelosi voiced support for the action.

During Obama’s presidency, U.S. forces also conducted airstrikes in Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia under similar legal justifications, without formal congressional authorization.

Pelosi did not publicly object to those actions at the time.

The Fordow strike marked the first use of the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator in a live operational setting. According to military officials, the site sustained significant damage.

Satellite images released Sunday morning appear to show the destruction of critical infrastructure at the facility.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated this point in separate interviews over the weekend, stating that the operation had a clear objective focused on neutralizing specific nuclear threats.

As debate continues in Washington over the scope of presidential military authority, congressional leaders from both parties are expected to discuss possible next steps this week.

Some lawmakers have called for hearings on the operation, while others have expressed support for the action and warned against attempts to politicize the mission.
