On the sixth day of the conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel, the American Senate blocked an attempt to limit President Donald Trump’s powers in military actions. According to Iranian state media, more than a thousand people have died since the start of the war.
The proposal, presented in a bipartisan manner, required Congressional authorization for military operations and sought to prevent the continuation of the air offensive. According to the Constitution of the United States, it is up to Congress to declare war. However, a law passed in 1973 allows the president to initiate limited military interventions in emergency situations.
The resolution was rejected by 53 votes to 47. While facing attacks from the Israeli and American offensive, Iran responds with drones and missiles against targets in Israel and also against United States installations in the Persian Gulf.
