The US Senate has passed a measure aimed at curtailing President Trump’s authority to initiate military conflict with Iran without congressional approval. The vote reflects growing bipartisan concern over the potential for escalation following recent tensions in the Persian Gulf. While the resolution doesn’t explicitly prevent military action, it reaffirms Congress’s constitutional role in declaring war. Supporters of the measure argue it serves as a check on executive power and prioritizes diplomatic solutions. Opponents, however, contend it could hinder the President’s ability to respond decisively to Iranian aggression. The resolution now moves to the House of Representatives, where its fate remains uncertain. This action follows a period of heightened US-Iran tensions, including the downing of a US drone and attacks on oil tankers.
