Congress Divides on War Powers Resolutions to Halt Iran Conflict
The U.S. Congress split along party lines over war powers resolutions aimed at forcing President Donald Trump to end hostilities with Iran, as tensions escalate and oil prices rise above $100 a barrel. The Senate rejected the resolution (47-49), while the House passed it earlier in the day (214-208). Despite legislative efforts, any attempt by Congress would likely face a presidential veto.
