Senate passes war powers resolution limiting Trump's Iran authority after eight attempts. In a 50-47 vote, lawmakers approved a motion to discharge the resolution from committee, with four Republican senators joining Democrats. The measure, introduced by Senator Tim Kaine, would require the President to remove US Armed Forces from Iran hostilities unless explicitly authorized by Congress through a war declaration or specific military authorization. Republican senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, and Bill Cassidy crossed party lines to support the resolution. Democrats argue the action reasserts constitutional responsibility for declaring war. The vote comes amid ongoing US-Iran peace negotiations and Trump's recent decision to delay a planned military strike on Tehran following requests from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
