The US Senate has failed for the fifth time to invoke the War Powers Resolution aimed at halting President Donald Trump's military actions against Iran. The resolution, championed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, required a supermajority to pass and was blocked by Republican opposition. This latest failure underscores the deep partisan divide in Congress over the president's war powers and his ongoing conflict with Iran. The legal 60-day deadline for Trump to wage war without congressional approval is also set to expire imminently, adding further pressure to the political standoff.
