[97214] US Senate approved a resolution to limit Trump's war powers against Iran

Political tension in the US: The Senate votes against continuing fighting in Iran

In a significant move, the US Senate voted in favor of a resolution calling for an end to the war against Iran, unless explicit approval is received from Congress, reports آخرین خبر. Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders welcomed the move, arguing that according to the Constitution, the President has no authority to drag the country into a war unilaterally. Sanders noted, as published in خبرگزاری ایرنا, that "Congress finally did what should have been done months ago."

Conversely, President Donald Trump reacted with fury to the move. In a post on 'Truth Social', as reported in خبرگزاری ایرنا, Trump claimed that Iran is "on the verge of surrender" and is showing unprecedented respect toward him. He called the Senate vote a "meaningless vote" that is occurring at an inappropriate time. It should be noted that these Iranian media outlets (IRNA and 'آخرین خبر') tend to adopt a clearly critical line toward American policy and President Trump.

Simultaneously, further analyses provide a skeptical angle on the effectiveness of the move. In SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو, retired Colonel Daniel Davis was quoted, calling the Senate's decision "closing the stable door after the horse has already bolted." According to him, Congress refrained from action as long as the fighting was in full swing, and is only acting now after the decisive negotiation stages have likely ended.

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte expressed support for Trump, noting in an interview with 'Fox News' (via خبرگزاری ایرنا) that the President is acting in the right way, while warning against the global danger inherent in Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
