Bill Clinton did not need specific congressional approval for the 1998 missile strikes against Al-Qaeda targets in Afghanistan.
This action was taken in response to the August 1998 Al-Qaeda bombings of US embassies in East Africa. As commander-in-chief, the president has the authority to order such military actions in self-defense, especially in response to attacks on US personnel or assets.

However in this case the Orange Anus bombed Iran in response to Netanyahu bombing Iran and dragging us into his war
