US senator moves to limit Trump's war powers on Iran, as Mideast conflict escalates

UNITED STATES, JUN 16 – Sen. Tim Kaine's resolution aims to ensure Congress authorizes any U.S. military action against Iran amid rising Middle East tensions and low public support for intervention, a poll shows.

  • On Monday, Sen. Tim Kaine introduced a resolution requiring Congress to debate and approve any military action against Iran.
  • Driven by concerns over escalating Israel-Iran hostilities, Kaine introduced a privileged resolution emphasizing Congress's sole war-declaring power under the Constitution.
  • The privileged resolution forces a Senate vote within days, prompting Trump to cut short his G7 trip amid escalating Iran-Israel tensions.
  • A vote on the war powers resolution could occur as soon as next week, requiring passage in both chambers and President Trump’s signature or veto.
