In a charged showdown on Capitol Hill, Republicans defeated a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran. The 47-53 vote signaled early Senate backing for a conflict rapidly expanding across the Middle East, with no clear U.S. exit strategy in sight. Lawmakers were forced to take a defining stand on presidential war authority and congressional oversight. Democrats filled the chamber in a rare show of gravity as the vote unfolded, underscoring the stakes for American troops, regional stability, and the future direction of U.S. foreign policy.#SenateVote #TrumpIranWar #WarPowers #IranConflict #CapitolHill #MiddleEastCrisis #USPolitics #BreakingNews #CongressLive #ForeignPolicy
