Presidential Permit Authorizing South Bow (USA) LP to Operate and Maintain Pipeline Facilities at Cavalier County, North Dakota, at the International Boundary Between the United States and Canada

The order directs United States forces to conduct a precision strike against three nuclear facilities in Iran, which are reportedly used for nuclear weapons development. The strike was conducted in a way to minimize casualties and deter future attacks, without the use of US ground forces. The action was taken under the President's constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive, and the United States may take further action if necessary to address threats or attacks. [*Editor's Note: There's been a mixup on the White House website. The source link formerly led to the text of the letter the president sent to Congress justifying his decision to attack Iran's nuclear bomb making facilities [See here](https://civicslog.com/#text-of-a-letter-from-the-president-to-the-speaker-of-the-house-of-representatives-and-the-president-pro-tempore-of-the-senate). That is what has been summarized here. Meanwhile, the post for the letter is absent from the White House website. And weirdly, the copy at the letter URL describes the Presidential Permit described in the headline.*]
