flag Senate rejects Democratic effort to limit Trump’s war powers on Iran, 53-47.

flag The U.S. Senate rejected a Democratic-led resolution to limit President Trump’s war powers regarding Iran, voting 53-47 against requiring congressional approval for military escalation. flag The measure, backed by Senator Cory Booker, aimed to force the president to seek approval or withdraw forces, citing concerns over executive overreach and the high human cost of Operation Epic Fury, a joint U.S.-Israeli campaign that has killed over 1,300 in Iran and caused significant civilian casualties. flag Only one Republican, Rand Paul, supported the resolution, while Democrat John Fetterman opposed it. flag The vote reflects ongoing tensions between Congress and the executive branch over war powers, with Democrats vowing to reintroduce similar measures. flag Internal dissent emerged as top intelligence aide Joe Kent resigned in protest, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declined to confirm whether Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat before the strikes.
