US Senate grants Trump permission to strike Iran

The bill, which was brought to the agenda for the 4th time since the beginning of the US-Iran "war," was rejected once again in the US Senate General Assembly.

In the vote, 47 senators voted "yes" in favor of the bill, while 52 senators voted "no."

Republican Senator Rand Paul, known for his anti-war stance, joined the Democrats in supporting the bill, while Democratic Senator John Fetterman voted against it once again. Republican Senator Jim Justice did not cast a vote.

The "war powers" bill was recorded as the 4th such bill to be rejected in the Senate since the start of US and Israeli attacks on Iran, but it was noted that some Republicans expressed their concerns on the matter during speeches prior to the vote.

The "War Powers Act" of 1973 ties the US president's decision to initiate war against any country to Congressional approval and mandates that the president notify Congress in advance of such a move.

The same law also requires the withdrawal of US forces within 60 days from a conflict that has not been approved by Congress.
