首席外交通讯员特雷·英格斯蒂和资深白宫记者杰奎·海因里希报道，美国海军封锁已进入霍尔木兹海峡第三天，切断了伊朗的海上进出口贸易。唐纳德·特朗普总统认为冲突“即将结束”，并暗示将开启新的谈判，尽管白宫一份声明否认了正式延长停火协议的说法。

共和党人尚未准备好倒戈反对唐纳德·特朗普总统的伊朗战争，此前参议院民主党人又一次试图限制他在中东的战争权力的尝试失败，这便是明证，但他们也并不打算支持这场旷日持久的冲突。
周二，参议院共和党人第四次否决了民主党提出的又一项战争权力决议案，此时“史诗之怒行动”已进入第46天。此次否决之际，伊朗与美国之间脆弱的停火协议即将到期，达成更广泛和平协议的谈判仍岌岌可危。
民主党最初启动其战争权力战略，是为了迫使国务卿马可·卢比奥和战争部长皮特·赫格斯就政府发动这场冲突的理由公开作证。他们辩称，伊朗并未构成迫在眉睫的威胁，因此根据《战争权力决议案》，未经国会批准发动战争是违宪的。

如今，他们已提出六项新决议以继续推进这一举措。
“我们每周都会在美国参议院发起一场辩论和投票，要么这场战争结束，要么我们的共和党同僚决定履行他们的宪法职责，”康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲说道。
目前大多数共和党人并未与总统决裂。但一项要求国会介入或特朗普停止敌对行动的60天期限已临近，这在共和党内部引发了一些质疑。
根据《战争权力决议案》，特朗普拥有60天时间等待国会介入，要么批准要么不认可这场战争。如果国会否决，政府有30天时间从伊朗撤军。

“在我国没有迫在眉睫的威胁或遭受袭击的情况下，总统需要前往国会寻求授权，”加利福尼亚州民主党参议员亚当·希夫说道。“否则，他如今发动战争的行为是非法的。”
曾在委内瑞拉问题上与特朗普唱反调，但在伊朗问题上遵循党纲的阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基，正在起草一份针对伊朗战争的军事使用授权法案（AUMF）。她在接受《纽约时报》采访时称，此举旨在为“史诗之怒行动”设定界限。
当被福克斯新闻数字频道问及是否仍在推进该军事使用授权法案时，她回答道：“嗯哼，我手头有很多工作要做。”
共和党人是否会支持政府并批准这场战争仍是未知数。肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗曾在每一次限制特朗普战争权力的行动中都与参议院民主党人站在一起，他不愿透露自己会如何就潜在的军事使用授权法案投票。

“我不支持对伊朗发动战争，我认为这是一场可选战争，但不是由我来做决定，”他说道。
其他人则认为，如果能获得通过，军事使用授权法案可能会成为特朗普及其中东行动的一项有用工具。
“我认为军事使用授权法案或许对总统有利，可以说，即便国会长期参与其中，也能消除‘总统或许得不到国会支持’这一政治考量，”北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯说道。
尽管如此，加油站和商品价格上涨带来的经济损失，让共和党选民切身感受到了这场冲突的直接痛苦。

参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩承认，这场战争对他以农业为主的州的化肥成本造成了压力，但他对《战争权力决议案》的权威性提出了质疑。
“如果你承认战争权力条款符合宪法，那么这将是该法律适用的门槛，”图恩说道。“但我认为，至少就目前而言，迄今为止采取的行动我认为非常有效且成功。但我们确实需要，他们需要制定出如何结束这场冲突、如何达成结果的计划。”
民主党人仍坚称这场战争从一开始就是非法的，并且即便最后期限临近，也不打算停止推动战争权力相关举措。
“如果总统有计划，他可以前往国会请求授权，我们就能进行这场本应提前进行的辩论，”俄勒冈州民主党参议员杰夫·默克利说道。

GOP holds with Trump on Iran war, but cracks emerge as deadline nears

Democrats vow to force a debate and vote every week until the war ends or Republicans ‘do their constitutional duty’

Chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst and senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich report on the U.S. naval blockade entering its third day in the Strait of Hormuz, halting economic trade into and out of Iran by sea. President Donald Trump believes the conflict is ‘close to over’ and hints at new talks, despite a White House statement denying a formal ceasefire extension.

Republicans aren’t ready to jump ship against President Donald Trump’s Iran war, as evidenced by another failed attempt to handcuff his war powers in the Middle East, but they also aren’t lining up to support a prolonged conflict.
Senate Republicans blocked another war powers resolution from Senate Democrats for a fourth time on Tuesday as Operation Epic Fury entered its 46th day. It comes as a fragile ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. is nearing its end, and talks toward a broader peace agreement remain tenuous.
Democrats initially started their war powers strategy to compel Secretary of State Marco Rubio and War Secretary Pete Hegseth to testify publicly on the administration’s rationale behind the conflict. They argued that Iran posed no imminent threat, making the war unconstitutional without congressional approval under the War Powers Resolution.

Now, they’ve loaded up six new resolutions to continue that push.
“We’re going to have a debate and a vote every week in the United States Senate until either this war comes to an end or our Republican colleagues decide to do their constitutional duty,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said.
Most Republicans, for now, aren’t breaking with the president. But a 60-day deadline that will require either Congress to weigh in or Trump to cease hostilities is fast approaching, and it’s raising questions among some in the GOP.
Under the War Powers Resolution, Trump has 60 days until Congress is required to weigh in and either authorize or disapprove of the war. If the latter, the administration has 30 days to draw down forces in Iran.

“The president needs to come to Congress in the absence of some imminent threat to the country or an attack on the country, to seek an authorization,” Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said. “Otherwise, it’s illegal to make war as he’s doing.”
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who has bucked Trump before on Venezuela but toed the party line on Iran, is drafting an Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) on the war in Iran, describing the effort in an interview with The New York Times as a way to put parameters around Operation Epic Fury.
When asked by Fox News Digital if she was still working on the AUMF, she said, “Uh huh, I’m working on so much.”
Whether Republicans will support the administration and authorize the war remains an open question. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has sided with Senate Democrats on each effort to handcuff Trump’s war powers, wouldn’t say how he’d vote on a potential AUMF.

“I’m not for the war in Iran, I think it’s a war of choice but not my choice,” he said.
Others see an AUMF as a potentially useful tool, if successful, for Trump and his efforts in the Middle East.
“I think maybe an AUMF could be an advantage for the president, to say, even Congress is here for the long time, removing the political calculation that maybe the president doesn’t have Congress’ support,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said.
Still, the economic toll at the pump and on goods is making Republicans’ constituents feel the immediate pain of the conflict.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., acknowledged the crunch that the war was having on the cost of fertilizer in his agriculture-heavy state, but he questioned the authority of the War Powers Resolution.
“If you accept the war powers as being constitutional, it would be the threshold under which that law would apply,” Thune said. “But I think, you know, at least right now, the steps that have been taken so far I think have been very effective and successful. But we do, they need a plan out, how to wind this down, how to get an outcome.”
Democrats still argue that the war was illegal to begin with and have no plans of letting up on their war powers push, even as the deadline nears.
“If the president has a plan, he can come to Congress and ask for authorization, and we can have the debate we should have had beforehand,” Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said.
