Senate fails again to curb Trump’s Iran war powers amid mounting tensions

The US Senate narrowly rejected a largely symbolic war-powers resolution aimed at forcing President Trump to withdraw US forces from Iran without explicit congressional authorization, 49-50, marking the second such defeat in weeks as tensions and retaliatory strikes persist. Several Republicans crossed party lines to support the measure, McConnell was absent, and the House has passed its own non-binding resolution, underscoring the ongoing clash over congressional authority versus presidential power in the Iran conflict.
