Senate defies Trump on Iran war with narrow vote to debate war powers
TL;DR
The Senate, hamstrung by GOP absences, advanced a war-powers resolution to rebuke President Trump over the Iran operation with a 50-47 vote to begin debate; Cassidy defected, joining Collins, Murkowski and Rand Paul in support while Fetterman opposed. The measure still faces multiple steps and could pass the House, signaling a rare bipartisan push to constrain the war and a growing split within the GOP.
