Senate blocks bid to curb Trump’s Iran war powers
TL;DR
The Senate rejected a largely symbolic measure to halt or limit the Trump administration’s Iran airstrike campaign, voting 50–49 in what was the second failed war-powers resolution in as many weeks as tensions with Tehran escalate; Democrats pressed to constrain executive military action, while President Trump argues the votes do not carry the force of law.
