Senate Rebukes Trump on Iran War Powers

The US Senate passed a war powers resolution directing President Donald Trump to halt military operations against Iran without congressional approval.

Eight Republicans joined Democrats in the rare bipartisan rebuke, escalating a constitutional clash over war authority.

The vote came amid ongoing US-Iran negotiations and highlighted deep unease over the administration's military posture.

The resolution's passage reflects a broader congressional push to reclaim war-making powers from the executive branch.
