US Senate Blocks Resolution to Limit Trump's War Powers Against Iran

The Republican-controlled US Senate blocked a Democratic effort to restrict President Donald Trump's authority to wage war against Iran. The resolution aimed to limit presidential war powers following escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. Democrats have criticized the blocking of the measure as unlawful, arguing that Congress should have a greater role in authorizing military action. The development comes as a statutory deadline approaches, increasing pressure on Congress to make a clear decision on presidential war powers. The Senate's action allows Trump to retain his current military authorities regarding Iran, despite ongoing debate over the constitutional balance between executive and legislative powers in matters of war.
