The president should get approval from Congress before taking further military action against Iran.
The U.S. carried out military strikes on Iran in 2025 without a vote in Congress. This would require approval by Congress before further U.S. military action against Iran, other than responding to an attack.

The power to declare war rests with Congress... an attack that could drag the U.S. into a long, costly conflict should not happen without Congressional approval.
