Congress Divided Over Iran War Ahead of Senate Vote

TL;DR Summary
A divided Congress grapples with the Trump administration’s large-scale strikes on Iran as a Senate vote approaches. Democrats say the administration hasn’t provided a clear, imminent threat or consulted Congress, while most Republicans back the action though some warn against mission creep. Both the Senate and House are preparing votes aimed at curbing presidential war powers, but are expected to fail due to near-unanimous GOP opposition, highlighting persistent anxiety over an open-ended conflict and the administration’s shifting justifications for the strikes.
