Congress revokes Trump's Iran war authority

The U.S. Senate passed a bill requiring President Donald Trump to halt military operations against Iran unless Congress officially declares war or authorizes the use of force. This move is largely symbolic and widely supported, despite lacking legal binding. It comes after the House of Representatives approved the same wording, and the bill calls for a stop to hostilities, although Trump criticized it, considering it inappropriate for the timing. This development occurs within the context of international-backed memoranda of understanding between the United States and Iran aimed at de-escalating military tensions, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and rebuilding Iran.
