Senate Blocks Trump's Iran Military Move

Senate Rejects Fourth Attempt to Rein in Trumps Iran Military Actions; Global Oil Prices Surge The Senate failed to pass a resolution requiring President Trump to seek congressional approval for military actions in Iran, marking the fourth consecutive rejection. With nearly all Republicans supporting the president, the vote resulted in a narrow defeat, 47-52. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was the only Republican to oppose the presidents actions, while Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) was the sole Democrat to support them. One Republican senator did not vote. The conflict in Iran has resulted in the deaths of thirteen American troops and injuries to 395, according to the Pentagon. Thousands of civilians have also been affected. The situation has led to a global oil crisis, with gas prices reaching record highs of $4.16 per gallon for regular and $4.97 for diesel. Although prices have slightly decreased, they remain elevated at $4.10 for regular and $5.63 for diesel. A recent Quinnipiac poll indicates that voters hold President Trump responsible for the increase in gas prices by a nearly two-to-one margin. Democrats are preparing for additional votes to limit joint operations with Israel. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
