Trump slams Senate war powers vote as 'poorly timed and meaningless', vows to push Iran deal through

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out at the Senate after it passed a war powers resolution directing him to halt military action against Iran, calling the vote "poorly timed and meaningless" and accusing four Republican senators who backed it of making his job harder.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran was on the "ropes" and "ready to go down for the fall" and was "willing to give us practically anything" when the Senate voted. He added that Iran had reached out to his team asking what the vote meant, and said the Republican senators who crossed the aisle had "provided aid and comfort to the Enemy." He vowed to get the deal done "one way or the other."
