U.S. Senate Approves War Powers Resolution Amid $80 Billion Iran War Funding Request
The U.S. Senate approved a war powers resolution 50-48 to block military action against Iran, marking the first time both chambers have passed such a measure since 1973. The largely symbolic vote reflects growing bipartisan concerns over President Donald Trump's Iran conflict and the administration's request for an additional $80 billion from Congress to cover war-related costs. Several Republican senators joined Democrats in supporting the resolution, signaling a shift in congressional attitudes amid debates over war funding and policy.
