US Senate Iran resolution – Bharat Pulse News

US President Donald Trump has criticised the Senate after it passed a war powers resolution seeking to limit further American military action against Iran. The vote comes as Washington and Tehran continue discussions on the technical details of a final deal after signing a memorandum aimed at ending the West Asia conflict. Trump Criticises Iran War Powers Vote Trump called the Senate vote “poorly timed” and “meaningless”, arguing that it had weakened his negotiating position with Iran. He also claimed the move could give “aid and comfort” to Tehran at a sensitive stage of the talks. The resolution seeks to restrict the president from continuing or launching military operations against Iran unless Congress formally authorises such action or the move is required for immediate self-defence. US Senate Iran Resolution Passes Narrowly The Senate passed the measure by a 50-48 vote. Four Republican senators joined most Democrats in backing the resolution, while one Democrat voted against it. Two Republican senators were absent during the vote. The measure follows a similar move in the House, making it a rare bipartisan rebuke of presidential war powers. Supporters said Congress must retain its constitutional authority over decisions involving war and military escalation. US Iran Peace Talks Continue The vote comes as the US and Iran negotiate the next steps of a final agreement following last week’s memorandum. The talks are expected to cover sanctions, Iran’s nuclear programme, regional security and future military limits. The White House has argued that the president needs flexibility during sensitive negotiations. However, lawmakers backing the resolution said the administration should not be allowed to expand military involvement without congressional approval. While the resolution may have limited practical impact, it sends a clear political signal that concern over the Iran conflict has grown within both parties.
