华盛顿 — 周二,参议院否决了民主党主导的最新限制特朗普总统伊朗政策权力的努力,与此同时,美国与德黑兰就战争可能的结束方式发出了相互矛盾的信号。
接近党派路线的投票结果为47票对53票,未能达到推进所需的简单多数。除肯塔基州参议员兰德·保罗外,所有共和党议员均投了反对票,而除宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼外,所有民主党议员均投了支持票。
本月早些时候,民主党提出了几项战争权力决议,以阻止特朗普在未经国会批准的情况下继续对伊朗发动军事进攻。他们誓言继续就该问题进行投票,以确保特朗普政府官员就冲突问题公开作证。
周二对康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲提出的决议进行的投票,是自2月28日冲突开始以来,参议院共和党人第三次阻止挑战特朗普对伊朗宣战权力的努力。去年对伊朗核设施袭击后的另一次投票也未成功。
“这是一个非同寻常的时刻,”墨菲在投票前的全体会议辩论中表示,“我认为我们从未有过这样的时刻,美国毫无疑问地与一个外国处于战争状态,我们的士兵此刻正在死亡,而国会却在积极向公众隐瞒这一切。”
墨菲认为,之所以没有公开听证会,是因为政府“无法为这场战争辩护和解释”。他称这场战争的后果“范围惊人”。
“如果他们不愿意来到国会为这场战争辩护,这就表明对准备工作和战略的谴责,”他说。
弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩领导了战争权力推动行动,他表示,“任何可能危及我们军队生命的重大提案,都应该接受我们在参议院中对任何事项进行的最严厉审查。”
特朗普政府和共和党人辩称,总统不需要国会授权,因为宪法和1973年《战争权力法案》赋予他下令自卫军事行动的权力。特朗普声称伊朗对美国构成“迫在眉睫”的威胁,尽管批评者对此表示反对。
特朗普数周来一直表示战争将很快结束,但结束途径仍不清楚。五角大楼官员已为向伊朗部署美国地面部队做了详细准备,因为总统正在权衡下一步行动。
周一,特朗普宣布对伊朗能源基础设施的军事打击(他此前因霍尔木兹海峡封锁而威胁过)将推迟五天。特朗普还表示,与伊朗的谈判正在进行中,尽管伊朗否认有任何直接讨论。伊朗外交部一位高级官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实,美国通过调解人向伊朗发送了一条信息。
众议院下议院的民主党人也可能很快就另一项战争权力决议采取行动,但众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周二对时间表未置可否。
杰弗里斯表示,正在就“尽快而非拖延”推进此事进行“持续对话”,但他们希望在议程上提出一项能够成功的提案。
“当我们在议程上提出某事时,我们决心获胜,”他说。

Senate rejects latest push to rein in Trump’s powers in Iran as war’s off-ramp unclear
March 24, 2026 / 7:43 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — The Senate on Tuesday rejected the latest Democratic-led effort to rein in President Trump on Iran as the U.S. and Tehran send conflicting messages about how the war might end.
The near party-line vote was 47 to 53, falling short of the simple majority it needed to advance. Every Republican except Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted against it, while every Democrat except Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania backed it.
Earlier this month, Democrats filed a handful of war powers resolutions to block Mr. Trump from continuing the military offensive against Iran without congressional approval. They vowed to continue forcing votes on the issue as a means of securing public testimony from Trump administration officials about the conflict.
Tuesday’s vote on a resolution introduced by Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut is the third time since the conflict began on Feb. 28 that Senate Republicans have blocked efforts to challenge Mr. Trump’s authority to wage war on Iran. Another vote last year in the wake of strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities was also unsuccessful.
“This is an extraordinary moment,” Murphy said during floor debate ahead of the vote. “I don’t think we have had a moment like this, where the United States has been unquestionably at war with a foreign power, where American soldiers are dying as we speak and it is being hidden actively from the public by the Congress.”
Murphy argued there haven’t been public hearings on the matter because the administration “cannot defend and explain this war.” He called the war’s consequences “stunning in their scope.”
“If they are not willing to come to Congress and defend this war, it speaks to the indictment of the preparation and strategy,” he said.
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, who has led the war powers push, said “any proposal of this magnitude that’s going to risk the lives of our troops should be subjected to the most searing examination that we would do of anything in this body.”
The Trump administration and Republicans have argued that the president does not need congressional authorization because the Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Act grant him authority to order military action in self-defense. Mr. Trump has claimed that Iran posed an “imminent” threat to the U.S., though critics have pushed back on the assertion.
Mr. Trump has said for weeks that the war would wrap up soon, but the off-ramp remains unclear. Pentagon officials have made detailed preparations for deploying U.S. ground forces into Iran as the president weighs next moves.
On Monday, Mr. Trump announced that military strikes against Iran’s energy infrastructure, which he previously threatened over the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, would be postponed for five days. Mr. Trump has also said that talks with Iran are underway, though Iran has denied any direct discussions. A senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official confirmed to CBS News that the U.S. sent Iran a message through mediators.
Democrats in the lower chamber could also move on another war powers resolution soon, but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was noncommittal on a timeline Tuesday.
Jeffries said there are “ongoing conversations” about moving forward “sooner rather than later” but they want to put something on the floor that is successful.
“When we present something on the floor, it’s our determination to win,” he said.
