US Senate narrowly blocks new bid to rein in Trump war powers

The U.S. Senate narrowly defeated a Democratic attempt to rein in President Trump's war powers, preventing a new measure that would require Congressional approval before any military action against Iran. This marks the ninth such effort by Democrats since February when Israel and the U.S. initiated air strikes against Iran. The failure underscores the ongoing struggle between Congress and the executive branch over war authorization, highlighting the tensions in U.S. foreign policy and the potential risks of unchecked executive military action.
