Senate rejects latest resolution to limit Trump's Iran war powers

Key Points:

• The Senate narrowly rejected a war powers resolution aimed at ending U.S. hostilities with Iran, with a 47 to 48 vote; four Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in favor, while one Democrat opposed.
• The resolution, led by Sen. Raphael Warnock, sought to require congressional authorization for continued military action against Iran, reflecting growing bipartisan concern over the conflict.
• Lawmakers are pressing for more details on a secret U.S.-Iran framework agreement, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune requesting the agreement's text and an administration briefing.
• The administration maintains that the 1973 War Powers Resolution is unconstitutional and argues that a ceasefire paused the 60-day deadline for ending hostilities without congressional approval, a position challenged by Democratic senators.
• The House has passed a separate resolution to end the war without congressional authorization, but the Senate has yet to take it up amid efforts to secure additional Republican support.
