WASHINGTON – The United States Senate delivered a victory to President Donald Trump on Wednesday, supporting his military operations against Iran by rejecting a bipartisan measure designed to limit presidential war powers.<\/p>

The Senate voted 52-47 against advancing the resolution, which would have halted ongoing air operations and mandated that Congress authorize any future military action against Iran. The vote took place as balloting was still underway in the 100-member chamber.<\/p>

The defeated resolution represented a cross-party effort to reassert legislative branch authority over military decisions involving Iran, but fell short of the support needed to move forward.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
