Discarded SpaceX Rocket Stage Set to Strike Moon at 8,700 Kph
The U.S. Senate has narrowly rejected a measure aimed at limiting the president’s authority to conduct military operations against Iran, with a procedural vote failing 50–49, one vote short of the required majority. Several Republican senators joined Democrats in supporting the resolution, underscoring bipartisan concern in Congress over the scope of ongoing U.S. military engagement with Iranian forces in the Middle East. The vote, the second such attempt in two weeks, leaves existing executive war powers intact. The debate unfolded as President Donald Trump prepared for cabinet discussions at Camp David on the prolonged conflict, economic repercussions and regional security risks.
