In a 47-53 Senate vote, Republicans blocked Sen. Tim Kaine’s Iran war powers resolution to curb U.S. military action amid ongoing airstrikes (Operation Epic Fury); a House version is set for Thursday, but passage in both chambers appears unlikely and would face a presidential veto, while Kaine vows to keep pushing for additional votes as events unfold.

Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie aim to force a vote on a similar measure, though last-minute scheduling delays could push it to next week. The moves occur as the United States maintains a visible military posture near Iran and diplomacy continues, with Trump pressing Tehran in broader nuclear talks.
