The Senate rejected a resolution seeking to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to wage war with Iran.
The Senate rejected a war-powers resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s authority in Iran, 47–53, as lawmakers pledged to bring it up weekly. The article reports that the vote came amid a fragile ceasefire, stalled talks and an approaching 60-day deadline for congressional authorization.

Left-leaning outlets like The New Republic frame the vote as Republicans "killing" efforts to rein in a "war of choice," while right-leaning sources like Fox News describe it as a rejection of a "Democrat attempt" to curb executive authority. Most center-leaning coverage, including Reuters, focuses on the legislative stalemate and Trump's claims that the military campaign is nearing its end.
