Senate Rejects War Powers Resolution on Trump's Iran Actions

The Senate rejected a war-powers resolution that would have required congressional approval for further strikes on Iran after Trump ordered military action there. Left-leaning outlets focus on reports of Trump's anger with Kristi Noem after her Senate testimony, rather than the Iran vote. Center outlets describe the vote and lawmakers' positions, often emphasizing Congress's role in authorizing military action. Right-leaning outlets also describe the defeat of limits on Trump's actions, with some presenting it as support for his operation.
