Senate to vote to force Trump to end the Iran strikes - will it matter?

The resolution will likely be voted down by Republican lawmakers

4 Mar, 15:55 — 4 Mar, 16:30

Why this matters

The ongoing tensions between the US and Iran have significant geopolitical implications, potentially leading to broader regional conflict or, conversely, diplomatic resolutions. Congressional efforts to curb presidential war powers reflect a domestic debate on executive authority, while reports of back-channel communications highlight potential paths to de-escalation.
