Kaine pushes Senate vote on Iran war powers as Trump warns operation could last weeks

TL;DR Summary
Sen. Tim Kaine will force a Senate vote this week on a war-powers resolution to curb President Trump’s authority to wage military action in Iran without congressional authorization. A parallel House measure is being pursued, but passage is unlikely in the GOP-led Congress; Kaine argues even a failed vote could pressure the White House for changes or more information about the attacks. Trump has said Operation Epic Fury could last up to four weeks. Three U.S. service members were killed and several others wounded as strikes continue, with public briefings limited.
