National Iranian American Council sues Trump over Iran military action
The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) has filed a lawsuit in a Washington, DC, court against President Donald Trump, seeking a halt to military operations against Iran.
The advocacy group argues that the ongoing military action violates constitutional war powers checks and poses imminent threats to the lives, health, and property of both Iranians and Iranian Americans. The complaint details the impact of a conflict that has lasted more than six months, noting that relatives of some plaintiffs have been killed or injured in air strikes.
Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that US sanctions have caused economic hardship and limited access to essential healthcare and travel for those affected. The plaintiffs claim that thousands of civilians, including hundreds of children, have been killed during the conflict.
