Senate GOP Reverses Trump Iran Rebuke

Senate Republicans staged a dramatic late-night reversal on Wednesday, voting down a resolution to curb President Trump’s war powers on Iran just one day after a bipartisan majority had advanced similar legislation.

The flip followed a furious closed-door clash in which Trump berated lawmakers, including a shouting match with Senator Bill Cassidy, who later declared he would not be “bullied into silence.” The president then declared the vote “puts Iran on notice,” amplifying tensions.

The episode exposed deep fractures within the Republican caucus over the conduct of the Iran conflict and the limits of executive authority.
