Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said that the Democrats will force a sixth vote in the US Senate on a war powers resolution this week.

“Senate Democrats will force a SIXTH vote on our War Powers Resolution ending Trump’s war of choice in Iran,” Schumer said on X, terming the war “reckless and unpopular”.

Democrats have tried, and failed repeatedly in both the Senate and House of Representatives, to force Trump to stop the war on Iran and to obtain lawmakers’ authorisation before launching ⁠military operations.
