The Senate voted down a resolution that would have restricted President Trump's war powers in Iran, with the measure failing 49-50, according to Open Source Intel, a social media aggregator. Four Republicans, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, and Thom Tillis, joined Democrats in supporting the resolution, while Senator John Fetterman was the sole Democrat to oppose it.
The decision comes as IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned at the commissioning ceremony for the submarine INS Drakon that Iran, though "wounded and battered," has not abandoned its intention to destroy Israel, according to the IDF Spokesperson. The timing underscores the strategic significance of U.S. military posture toward Tehran for Israel's security calculations.
