One month in, disapproval high but US lawmakers take no action on Iran war
AI Summary
One month into the US-Israeli war on Iran, public disapproval is high due to the conflict and rising petrol prices. Despite this, US lawmakers have taken little action to curtail the war. A War Powers resolution to limit President Trump's ability to prosecute the war failed in the Republican-controlled Senate for the second time, with voting largely along party lines. Although Democrats in the House of Representatives reportedly have the votes to pass a similar resolution, party leadership has hesitated to bring it to a vote. The Trump administration has focused on degrading Iran's military capabilities without articulating a clear endgame, leading observers to believe the war has entered a phase that strategically favors Iran.
