A Democratic war powers bill just passed: Four House Republicans helped House Democrats pass a war powers resolution aimed at halting President Trump’s military action in Iran. But remember, this vote is nonbinding. It’s meant to send a message to the president. Both chambers of Congress have passed resolutions like this before. #trump #warpowersact #house #senate #iran #iranwar
President Trump blew up at Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) during an intense meeting behind closed doors in the Capitol Wednesday after the Republican senator accused the president of not being forthright with the American people about the Iran war. The argument got so loud and intense between Trump and Cassidy that a senator next to the Louisiana senator had to pull him back down into his seat. The fireworks started when Trump expressed his frustration over the Senate approving a war powers resolution on Tuesday directing him to withdraw U.S. troops from hostilities against Iran, sending a powerful rebuke to the president. #trump #billcassidy #warpowersact #republicans #iran #iranwar

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday afternoon that the Iranian regime’s “insane in the brain” leaders should not test President Trump as tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine will brief reporters Tuesday morning on the Iran war — as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening the already-fragile ceasefire. The conflict hit the 60-day mark last week, though the Trump administration has argued the temporary truce stopped the clock. President Trump has already called the timeline — established under the War Powers Act to give the president authority to deploy troops without congressional approval — unconstitutional. Sen.
