The National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a Washington-based civic group, filed a federal lawsuit against President Trump asking a judge to declare the ongoing US war on Iran unconstitutional. The suit, filed by constitutional lawyers Alan Morrison and B. Ryan Snyder, argues Trump never sought congressional authorization for the conflict and has offered no timeline for ending it. The plaintiffs include Iranian-American families who say they have been harmed by a war with no clear end, adding a domestic legal dimension to the months-long US-Iran conflict that began earlier in 2026.
