[67966] US Senate limits Trump's war powers against Iran; reports of strategic embarrassment
In a dramatic move, the US Senate voted for the first time to limit Trump's war powers against Iran, while reports reveal past American plans to crown Ahmadinejad and growing internal criticism over crisis management.
Growing tension: The Senate votes against Trump and rumors of a "coup" in Tehran
In an unprecedented move, the US Senate passed a resolution limiting President Donald Trump's powers to conduct war against Iran without Congressional approval. According to a report in خبر فوری جنگ ایران, this is the first time such an initiative has passed, after seven failed attempts in the past. Democratic members and four Republican senators supported the move, according to a report in DW Persian, noting that despite the procedural achievement, President Trump may veto the resolution.
At the same time, startling details were revealed in Vahid Online, citing The New York Times, that the US and Israel planned at the beginning of the war to bring about regime change in Iran and crown former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the new leader. According to the report, the move failed after Ahmadinejad was wounded in an attack intended to rescue him from house arrest, and he has since disappeared from view.
In the American arena, President Trump continues to present a determined position, as reported in Vahid Online, stating that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons and that "almost all of their equipment has been destroyed." However, sources such as אחרון خبر cite Axios, which questions the credibility of Trump's claims and argues that the President had not made a final decision to attack at all, despite his public statements.
The implications of the war are also sparking sharp criticism within the US. According to the Vatan Emrooz newspaper (associated with positions critical of the US), the war has caused a sharp rise in energy and food prices, leading to economic erosion among the middle class in America. At the same time, Iran International network emphasizes that discussions on limiting Trump's power are continuing, while Vice President J.D. Vance claims that the US and Iran are conducting a serious dialogue aimed at avoiding further escalation.
