US Senate Makes History: Trump's Executive War Powers Curbed – No Iran Conflict Without Congressional Approval 📍📍🇺🇲

In a historic move, the US Senate has passed a special "War Powers Resolution" that prohibits any military operation or war action against Iran without direct and clear approval from Congress. This resolution directly challenges and curbs President Donald Trump's executive and military powers, aiming to prevent any potential war with Iran. For the first time in US political history, the Senate has voted to restrict a sitting president's war-making authority in this manner. According to the new resolution, the president is legally bound to halt any unauthorized military action against Iran within 30 days. Political analysts describe this as a major blow to Trump's foreign policy amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
