Senate Moves to Check Trump’s Iran War Powers, Veto Looms
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Senate approved a war powers resolution to curb the president’s actions against Iran and require explicit congressional authorization for new hostilities, voting 50-48 with several Republicans breaking ranks; while the move signals Congress reasserting its war-declaration power, Trump is expected to veto, and the measure faces a symbolic fate even as Switzerland-based ceasefire talks continue.
