Didn't the US and Israel assassinate Iran's nuclear scientists? At the very least, the US and Israel collaborated on Stuxnet.
I don't want to defend it but it seems like fairly straightforward retaliation. "Do unto others what they did to you." Or something like that.
Congress being "very concerned" about retaliation like this should've happened the moment Trump decided to escalate. Not now.
It's like suddenly being "very concerned" that you can't drive anywhere after selling your car.
