What Happened
Republicans Unite To Oppose Congressional Authorization Requirement
The US Senate has blocked a war powers resolution seeking to limit the president’s authority to use military force in Iran without congressional approval. The measure, introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine, was defeated 47-53, with Sen. John Fetterman breaking ranks with Democrats to oppose the resolution. A similar resolution is set for a vote in the House on Thursday, but its prospects are uncertain. The conflict in Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury, continues for the fifth day, with airstrikes ongoing. This development was reported by Breaking Defense.
