US Senate to Vote on Bill Seeking to Limit Trump’s War Powers Over Iran Conflict

The US Senate will vote on a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s authority to continue military action against Iran. The measure would require US forces to withdraw unless Congress approves the operation. The vote comes five days after the US and Israel began strikes on Iran. Tehran has responded with attacks on Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf. Senator Tim Kaine, who introduced the bill, said lawmakers must take responsibility. “Every senator will have to go on the record,” he said. Many Democrats support the measure, while most Republicans oppose it. Even if passed, the bill must clear the House and could face a presidential veto. (PC: BBC)
