Senate Votes to Curb Trump’s War Powers Against Iran

The US Senate has narrowly passed a historic war powers resolution aimed at restricting President Donald Trump’s ability to take military action against Iran. The measure succeeded with a 50-48 vote, passing after four Republican senators broke ranks to join a nearly unanimous Democratic bloc. While Democratic leaders heavily criticized the administration’s foreign policy as a chaotic and costly mistake, Trump quickly fired back on social media. The President, who is expected to veto the legislation, argued that the Senate’s decision undermines American leverage, aids a weakened Iranian regime, and makes his job significantly harder.
