US Republicans break ranks, but Senate fails to curb Trump’s war powers

Three Republican senators have joined Democrats in the Senate in voting to advance a bill to limit Trump’s ability to wage war on Iran without congressional approval.

While the bill ultimately fell short in a 50-49 vote on Wednesday, it showed cracks appearing in support for the war in Trump’s own party.

It was the seventh such vote since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran, receiving the highest level of support so far.

  1. US senators narrowly rejected a resolution curbing President Donald Trump's power to wage war on Iran -- their first vote on the conflict since a 60-day deadline expired for the White House to seek formal authorisation.

    The vote tally was 50-49.
