The US Senate has passed the War Powers Bill by a 50–48 vote, requiring the President to obtain Congressional approval before any further military action against Iran. The bill, seen as a push to strengthen Congressional oversight, comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran over nuclear inspections and related security concerns. Although not legally binding in the same way as a full law, it signals growing political resistance to unilateral military action and reflects deeper divisions over the US foreign policy toward Iran.
