The US Senate has shockingly rejected a resolution that would have stopped Donald Trump from unilaterally using military force against Iran. With a vote of 53 against and 47 in favor, the Republican-majority Senate made it clear they don’t want to limit the president’s war powers, despite Democrats warning this is reckless and dangerous. This all happened just hours after Trump threatened new bombings of Iran if Tehran continues enriching uranium. Democratic Senator Tim Kaine warned that war is too big a decision for one person, but apparently the Senate didn’t want to listen. Only one Republican, Rand Paul of Kentucky, voted for the resolution, while most Democrats opposed it. This decision casts a dark shadow over US politics and opens the door to potential new military conflicts in the Middle East. Think this is the end? Think again — Trump said he will “without hesitation” consider new strikes if Iran continues its nuclear program. Is this the start of a new war or just another political game? Jump into the conversation and tell us what you think — did the Senate make the right call or is America on the edge of disaster?
