Middle East live: Trump seeks $88 billion in extra funding, mostly for Iran war
ONP Summary
The US Senate passed a 50-48 vote on a concurrent resolution directing President Trump to seek congressional approval before conducting further military operations against Iran. The measure addresses military action that Congress never authorized and has become increasingly unpopular even among Trump's Republican supporters. The close vote reflects a rare assertion of legislative war powers authority, with bipartisan backing including some Republicans voting against the president.
Moderate: Centrist outlets emphasize the rare bipartisan nature of the resolution and congressional concern about the unauthorized war, highlighting that unpopularity extends even to Trump's Republican coalition.
Conservative: Conservative-leaning outlets stress the resolution's largely symbolic character; some emphasize the White House position that the military conflict is already concluded, suggesting limited practical impact.
