The US Senate has voted 50–48 to limit President Trump’s authority to continue military action against Iran without congressional approval.
A rare bipartisan pushback is putting the brakes on Trump’s Iran military playbook.
The US Senate voted 50–48 to approve a war powers resolution curbing the president’s authority to launch further strikes against Iran without congressional sign-off, Reuters reported Tuesday. Four Republicans crossed the aisle to join most Democrats in passing the measure though one Democrat voted against it, tightening the final margin.
The resolution is largely symbolic but sends a sharp signal about congressional unease over executive overreach on military matters. The White House has pushed back, insisting ongoing operations remain necessary while diplomatic talks continue with regional and international partners.
