Congress readies votes to block potential Iran strike

TL;DR Summary
Sen. Tim Kaine plans to bring a Senate floor vote on a War Powers Resolution to prevent any Iran strike without explicit authorization, a measure he co-sponsors with Rand Paul. In the House, Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie aim to force a vote on a similar measure, though last-minute scheduling delays could push it to next week. The moves occur as the United States maintains a visible military posture near Iran and diplomacy continues, with Trump pressing Tehran in broader nuclear talks.
