Senate Fails to Advance Measure Limiting Trump's Authority on Iran War Powers
US Senate fails to advance war powers measure to rein in Trump's Iran war, with a resolution failing 47-52 in a procedural vote.
The US Senate has failed to pass a resolution seeking to rein in President Donald Trump's war with Iran, as a measure aimed at limiting his authority to engage in military action against the country fell short of the 51 votes needed for passage. The war powers resolution was defeated by a vote of 47-52, reflecting opposition from some Senate Republicans and independents who felt it was too restrictive or ineffective. The decision marks a significant setback for those seeking to curb Trump's ability to engage in military action without congressional approval. The outcome is likely to embolden the administration and maintain its current war posture towards Iran.
