BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷
The U.S. Senate just crossed a line it had failed to cross seven times before.
By a 50–47 vote, senators advanced a War Powers Resolution aimed at restricting further U.S. military action against Iran without congressional approval.
Four Republicans broke ranks to support it: Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul. Democrat John Fetterman voted against it.
That matters.
This is the first Iran war powers measure to clear the Senate at any stage, and it comes only hours after Trump said he had been within about an hour of approving another strike on Iran.
The timing is impossible to ignore. The Pentagon has already put the publicly acknowledged cost of the Iran operations at roughly $29 billion, while the broader damage, escalation risk, and strategic uncertainty keep growing.
For once, the Senate is signaling that war cannot just run on autopilot from the White House.
The Constitution gives Congress the power to authorize war. Tonight, a majority of senators finally acted like that still means something.
Now the pressure shifts to the House.
And after that, to Trump’s desk. $TRUMP
