The Senate just re-asserted itself on Iran, and barely

The Senate's 50-48 procedural vote reasserted war-powers authority over the Iran campaign by two votes and one Democratic defection. That is a warning shot, not a restoration.

Desk note: The Iranian wire read this vote as a clean "end the war" outcome; Monexus read it as a two-vote procedural reassertion with one Democratic defector, which is a warning shot rather than a restoration. The institutional framing is deliberately less triumphant than the state-media framing.
