Senate Passes Bill to Limit Trump’s War Powers on Iran, Requiring Congressional Approval

The Senate voted on a measure to curb the president’s war‑making authority regarding Iran. The bill directs President Trump to stop any military action against Iran. It also requires him to seek congressional approval before launching new operations. A small number of Republican senators joined Democrats in supporting the measure. The vote signals bipartisan concern over unchecked executive power. Lawmakers framed the action as a rebuke to the president’s approach to Iran. The proposal could force the administration to adjust its strategy in the region. Critics say the move may limit the president’s ability to respond quickly to threats. Supporters argue it restores constitutional checks on war powers. The Senate’s decision sets the stage for further debate in the House.
