In a 47-53 Senate vote, Republicans blocked Sen. Tim Kaine’s Iran war powers resolution to curb U.S. military action amid ongoing airstrikes (Operation Epic Fury); a House version is set for Thursday, but passage in both chambers appears unlikely and would face a presidential veto, while Kaine vows to keep pushing for additional votes as events unfold.
