Senate curbs Trump's war powers

A bipartisan group of senators has voted to advance a War Powers Resolution that would require President Trump to obtain congressional authorization before continuing military action against Iran.

Four Republicans joined Democrats in the 50-47 procedural vote, signaling mounting resistance to the administration's aggressive posture in the Middle East.

The move comes as the president warns of a potential 'big hit' against Tehran if negotiations for a new nuclear deal fail to progress.

Supporters of the resolution argue that the current conflict is becoming an 'eternal war' that lacks clear objectives and public support.
