Trump Criticizes US Senate and Republican Lawmakers Over Iran War Powers Resolution

United States President Donald Trump has criticized the Senate for endorsing a war‑powers resolution that instructs him to halt any military actions against Iran.

The resolution, which has already been approved by the House of Representatives and has been attempted several times in the Senate, finally passed after gaining the support of four Republican senators who joined the Democrats. One Democrat voted with the Republicans, while two Republicans were absent.

In essence, the resolution states that the United States cannot engage in war with Iran without Congressional approval.

At present, the United States is engaged in peace negotiations with Iran, indicating that there are no immediate indications of military action.

Trump wrote on X, “I have Iran on the ‘ropes,’ ready to fall, willing to concede practically anything, and for the first time in decades, showing great respect for the United States and its President, ME, yet the U.S. Senate opts for a poorly timed and insignificant War Powers Act Vote.”

He further stated that the resolution tells “the Number One Sponsor [sic] of Terror in the World that the United States disapproves of my actions against them, compelling me to halt, thereby providing aid and comfort to the Enemy.”

The president also criticized the four Republican senators who voted alongside the Democrats to pass the resolution, asserting: “These Senators have just complicated my efforts, but I will accomplish my goals, one way or another, because I always achieve my objectives!”
