#Trump’s threat that the #US could charge #fees on ships transiting through the #StraitOfHormuz breaks with his own admin’s stance. Last month, Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said, “It’s an #InternationalWaterway,” referring to the strait. “No country is allowed to charge #tolls or fees on an international waterway. That’s existing #InternationalLaw.”

Democratic Sen #TimKaine of Virginia pressed #Rubio on why the #US #military’s targeting criteria for attacking alleged drug #boats in Latin American waters DO NOT INCLUDE DRUGS ON THE BOAT. Kaine described it as “odd” before adding that he can’t share much more because the targeting criteria are classified.

Sen #TimKaine also echoed Sen #MarkWarner (D-VA), the top #Democrat of the #Senate #Intelligence Cmte, saying that “all of the intelligence” he has seen suggests that there was “no imminent threat” from #Iran. He said Iran was “a decade” away from building missiles that could reach the #US.

Democratic lawmakers are criticizing Trump’s decision to strike against #Iran without congressional approval or seeking a declaration of #war in #Congress. Sen #TimKaine (D-VA), a member of the #Senate Armed Services Cmte, called the #US military campaign “an illegal war” on Fox News.

One of the most prominent Iraqi #militias, #KataibHezbollah, on Thursday issued a public statement urging its fighters to “be prepared to engage in a #war of attrition that may be prolonged & exceed the expectations of the #US administration.” It also issued a warning to the #Kurdish regional government in #Iraq “against collaborating with hostile foreign forces” that “could threaten its security & future.”

Two officials with different #Iran backed #militias in #Iraq told The Associated Press that a meeting took place two months ago between Iranian officials & allied Iraqi militias to make plans for a response in case Iran was attacked, including distributing tasks among the Iraqi armed groups.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.

But several senators, #Democrats & some #Republicans, as well as #HumanRights groups questioned the legality of Trump’s action. They called it a *potential* [frickin obvious] #overreach of #ExecutiveAuthority in part because the #military was used for #LawEnforcement purposes [#PosseComitatusAct].
By claiming his campaign against drug cartels is an active “armed conflict”, #Trump appears to be [illegally] claiming extraordinary wartime powers to justify his action. -
