A dramatic showdown has erupted in the U.S. Senate as Democrats block debate on President Donald Trump's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), arguing Congress cannot approve a record defense budget while military operations against Iran continue without greater congressional oversight.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the bill a "permission slip" for the Trump administration to continue military action against Iran. The legislation also faces criticism over provisions expanding U.S.-Israel military and intelligence cooperation, including new defense technology coordination and intelligence-sharing measures.
With Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Van Hollen and other Democrats opposing the bill, the vote highlights growing divisions over Iran policy, military spending, and America's relationship with Israel ahead of the midterm elections.
Is this a turning point in Washington's Iran policy, or just another battle over defense spending? Watch the full report.
