Trump-driven flip in Senate on Iran war after tense Capitol Hill meeting

TL;DR Summary
Two Republican senators, Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy, flipped their votes to back a Senate stance on Trump's Iran war after a tense meeting with the president, moving the tally from 50-48 against to 50-47 for. Cassidy was invited to the White House to discuss concerns, while Paul said he would consider the negotiating position; the change followed Trump canceling a housing-bill signing earlier in the day. The vote is largely symbolic, and the Senate returns after a July 4 recess to pursue other priorities like the defense bill.
