DUBAI/JERUSALEM/ANKARA ¨C Iran launched a wave of missiles at Israel early on Thursday, sending millions of residents into bomb shelters as the U.S.-Israel war with Iran entered its sixth day and just hours after moves to halt the U.S. air assault were blocked in Washington.
Republican senators in Washington voted against a motion aimed at stopping the air campaign and requiring that military action be authorized by Congress, leaving President Donald Trump¡¯s power to direct the war largely ?unbound, as the conflict continues to widen across the Middle East and beyond.
The U.S. Senate voted 53 to 47 not to advance the resolution, largely along party ?lines, with ?all but one Republican voting against the procedural motion and all but one Democrat supporting it.
