US Senate Blocks War Powers Bid to Halt Donald Trump’s Iran Offensive as Partisan Clash Explodes

05 March,2026 05:47 PM IST

The US Senate has officially rejected the War Powers Resolution that sought to limit President Donald Trump’s “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran, marking a decisive moment in US foreign policy and partisan politics. Republicans voted overwhelmingly to support Trump, securing a major political win amid rising tensions in the Middle East. While Senators Rand Paul and Jon Fetterman supported the resolution, the GOP successfully defeated the measure, keeping the president’s military options intact. Democrats, led by Senator Tim Kaine and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, criticized the administration for ignoring Congressional authority, moving strategic goalposts, and deploying troops without a clear plan.
