Iran achieves what it never could militarily? Trump’s war machine paralyzed by GOP defections

Donald Trump is facing growing political backlash over the Iran war after Republicans and Democrats joined forces to push limits on presidential war powers. Republican leaders abruptly pulled a Senate vote after fears the resolution had enough support to pass. The measure would force Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran without congressional approval. Democrats accused the GOP of delaying the vote to avoid an embarrassing defeat. The political rebellion comes as war costs soar, U.S. casualties rise and polls show growing public anger over America’s deepening conflict with Iran.
