Congress passes war powers measure for first time, breaking with Trump over Iran

Congress has passed a war powers measure for the first time, marking a break with President Trump's stance on Iran. The resolution, passed on Tuesday, is largely symbolic but aims to increase pressure on the White House. It seeks to bring an end to the conflict with Iran, signaling a congressional effort to assert its authority over war powers. The move adds to the growing tension between Congress and the Trump administration over foreign policy decisions.
