When Iran provided direct support to an organization which declared war on us or destroyed American commercial properties.
Basically, when Iran committed hostile acts toward us which could not be considered self defense. This does not include them improving their defense capabilities in any way other than in such instances when it involved a direct threat to our country.
I can't think of any other just reasons to declare war on another country. |
Although these situations seem reasonable, under those conditions, we'd already be authorized to use military force against Iran. Seems Bush held back on military force more than you would.
