Senate rejects bill limiting Trump's Iran war powers

There is now growing division within the U.S. Congress regarding President Donald Trump's authority to carry out military operations against Iran. The House of Representatives approved a bill demanding congressional approval for any new military action, while the Senate blocked a similar decision aimed at stopping hostilities without congressional authorization. The House voted in favor of the measure with a majority of 214 to 208, whereas the Senate rejected it with a majority of 49 to 47. This reflects a split among members and increasing anxiety over the direction of the military effort against Iran, especially as the conflict continues without a clear strategy, amid reminders of the 18 American military personnel killed since the start of the crisis. Additionally, Congress approved a bipartisan budget framework of $95 billion, including $73 billion for the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, mainly for Iran-related operations, along with a record defense budget of $1.15 trillion.
