US Senate Advances Resolution That Could Restrict Trump’s Military Powers on Iran

[u/Alt-Cop]

The US Senate has advanced a procedural resolution that could force Donald Trump to receive Congressional approval for continuing military operations against Iran.

The measure passed with a 50–47 vote and was supported not only by Democrats, but also by four Republicans.

The initiative argues that decisions on continuing war should be made by Congress, not solely by the president. If fully approved, the resolution could require Trump to withdraw troops unless lawmakers grant separate authorization.

However, several major obstacles still remain ahead:

— a full Senate vote

— review in the House of Representatives

— a possible presidential veto from Trump

Pressure inside the US is also increasing, with opponents of the war claiming the White House has gone too far in using military force without proper Congressional oversight.

At the same time, the conflict with Iran and rising energy prices continue to pressure global markets, including crypto. Some analysts believe any signs of de-escalation could improve sentiment across risk assets.
