Even if assisting an ally like Israel after they initiate conflict with Iran, sustained U.S. military involvement would still require congressional authorization. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/section-8/ https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlei https://sgp.fas.org/crs/natsec/RL31133.pdf https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R42699.html
