US Senate rejects Democratic bid to curb Trump’s authority to strike Iran

The Republican-led US Senate rejects a Democratic-led bid to block President Donald Trump from using further military force against Iran, hours after the president said he would consider more bombing.

The Senate vote is 53 to 47 against a war powers resolution that would have required congressional approval for more hostilities against Iran. All the senators voted, but the vote is being held open.
