# The Republican-controlled US Senate has passed the Iran Powers Resolution, an act that blocks military action against Tehran unless there’s congressional authorisation. The resolution passed by a 50-48 vote, with four Republicans breaking with their party to support its adoption. The resolution does not require president Donald Trump’s signature. Democratic minority leader, Chuck Schumer, says Trump’s historic blunder in Iran will go down in the history books as one of the worst foreign policy forays America has ever made:
