Congress Votes to Check Trump on Iran War with Bipartisan War Powers Move
TL;DR Summary
Senate approves a bipartisan, largely symbolic concurrent resolution directing Trump to halt Iran operations or obtain congressional approval, marking the first time both chambers passed such a measure since the 1973 War Powers Resolution. The vote signals growing GOP splits and mounting pressure to end the Iran conflict, even as the Pentagon seeks about $80 billion for the war and a ceasefire currently limits hostilities.
