The US Senate passed a war powers resolution aimed at restricting President Trump’s authority to engage in military conflict with Iran without congressional consent. This marks the first time Congress has successfully invoked its war powers authority to limit a president’s military actions since the Vietnam War. The resolution, passed by a bipartisan majority, requires the President to seek approval from Congress before further military engagement with Iran. While the White House has criticized the measure, arguing it infringes on presidential authority, proponents say it reaffirms Congress’s constitutional role in declaring war. The resolution is non-binding, and it remains to be seen whether President Trump will comply. The move reflects growing concerns within both parties about escalating tensions with Iran following the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the measure soon.
