Lawmakers ramp up push for war powers resolution after US strikes Iran

Lawmakers are pressing to convene ahead of schedule to vote on a war powers resolution in response to a wave of U.S. strikes on Iran.

They argue the administration has launched military action without full congressional authorization and seek to reassert legislative oversight over war decisions.

The push comes as lawmakers intensify debate on the appropriate and lawful use of military force in relation to Iran, amid ongoing tensions in the region.
