** As Trump Weighs Attack Plans, Iran Says US Intervention Would Be 'Recipe for All-Out War'
------------------------------------------------------------
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said Wednesday that any U.S. intervention in the escalating conflict that Israel started last week would be "a recipe for an all-out war in the region," a warning that came as President Donald Trump weighed plans for a direct strike on Iran without congressional authorization.
Meanwhile, in the U.S. Congress, support for resolutions aimed at preventing Trump from launching an attack on Iran without lawmakers' approval continued to grow.
“No president should be able to bypass Congress' constitutional authority over matters of war," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who is co-leading a House war powers resolution alongside Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), said in a statement Tuesday.
"The American people do not want to be dragged into another disastrous conflict in the Middle East," Khanna added.
