共和党对唐纳德·特朗普总统对伊朗战争的支持周三出现分裂。
数月来，参议院民主党人一直通过持久战策略，试图让共和党人脱离他们几乎团结一致支持“史诗怒火行动”的阵营，自战事爆发以来，他们多次在参议院就战争权力决议进行投票。
经过两个月的努力，他们终于通过俄勒冈州民主党参议员杰夫·默克利的最新提案，争取到部分共和党议员倒戈反对特朗普。但这仍不足以终止美国在中东的 ongoing 军事行动。

缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯、阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丽莎·默科夫斯基，以及一贯投票支持限制特朗普战争权力的肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗，都与民主党人一道投票终止“史诗怒火行动”。
此事发生在国会错过就该地区战事进行审议的60天期限之后，也就在特朗普抵达中国数小时前。
特朗普政府高级官员，包括战争部长皮特·赫格斯瑟，辩称60天期限已无意义，因为战事已在停火协议下暂停。
然而，在拒绝伊朗的最新提议后，特朗普周二表示，脆弱的停火协议正处于“危急状态”。

“在看了他们发给我们的那堆垃圾提案后，我现在可以说这是最脆弱的停火——我甚至都没看完，”特朗普对记者表示。
“我想说，停火协议正处于极度危急状态，就像医生走进来说，‘先生，您的亲人存活概率大约只有1%’，”他说道。
在周三投票前，特朗普的海外之行以及已成为过去式的最后期限是否会对投票产生影响，仍是一个未知数。

参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党议员约翰·图恩指出，特朗普的中国之行可能会对国家安全产生影响，并表示“所有人都团结起来支持总统是最好的选择”。
“人们对这些问题有自己的看法，这不是一次新的投票，我们之前已经进行过多次投票，但你知道，我们会看看最终投票结果如何，”图恩说道。
国会可以就《军事使用授权法案》（AUMF）进行投票，该法案要么授权要么停止美国在伊朗的任何进一步军事行动。一些共和党人认为，此举将为特朗普为战争辩护提供强有力的法律工具。
默科夫斯基本月早些时候警告称，除非有迹象表明和平协议即将达成，或者政府就其作战目标做出进一步说明，否则她将提交一项《军事使用授权法案》供参议院表决。
在周二就特朗普政府1.5万亿美元的巨额五角大楼预算申请进行听证时，默科夫斯基询问赫格斯瑟，他是否认为“如果明确表示国会确实批准了《军事使用授权法案》，这将对总统有所帮助”，以防战事重启。
“我认为总统——我们的观点是，他拥有第二条宪法修正案赋予的所有必要权力来执行任务，”赫格斯瑟说道。
发起战争权力倡议的弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩辩称，如果一项《军事使用授权法案》提交参议院并获得通过，那将使“一场非法且不明智的战争，仅仅变成一场不明智的战争，而非非法战争”。
“但我几乎看不到共和党人愿意在委员会或参议院就该法案进行投票的任何情况，”凯恩对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“他们正积极试图逃避对这场战争的责任。”

Senate Democrats finally crack GOP unity on Trump’s Iran war as Murkowski flips
The vote came hours after Trump said the ceasefire with Iran is on ‘massive life support’ with a ‘1% chance’

Republicans’ support for President Donald Trump’s war on Iran fractured on Wednesday.
Senate Democrats have tried to splinter off Republicans from their near-unified backing of Operation Epic Fury for months with a campaign of attrition, putting war powers resolution after war powers resolution on the floor ever since fighting began.
And after two months of trying, they finally got some in the GOP to flip on Trump with Sen. Jeff Merkley’s, D-Ore., latest attempt. Still, it wasn’t enough to terminate ongoing operations in the Middle East.

Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has consistently voted to handcuff Trump’s war powers, all joined Democrats to end Operation Epic Fury.
It comes after Congress blew past the 60-day deadline to weigh in on fighting in the region, and hours after Trump touched down in China.
Top Trump administration officials, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, argued that the 60-day deadline was moot because fighting was paused under a ceasefire.
However, Trump, after rejecting the latest proposal from Iran, said on Tuesday that the fragile truce is on “life support.”

“I would call it the weakest, right now, after reading that piece of garbage they sent us — I didn’t even finish reading it,” Trump told reporters.
“I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, ‘Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living,’” he said.
Whether Trump’s trip overseas and the deadline now in the rearview mirror would have an impact on Wednesday remained an open question heading into the vote.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., noted that Trump’s trip to China would likely have national security implications, and said that it “would be best if everybody hung together and supported the president.”
“People have their own minds about some of these issues, and this is not a new vote, it’s one we’ve had many times before, but you know, we’ll see what votes are,” Thune said.
Congress has the option of voting on an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that would either authorize or halt any further fighting in Iran. Some Republicans argue that the move would give Trump a strong legal tool in making the case for the war.
Murkowski warned earlier this month that unless there were signs that a peace deal was nearing completion or further communication from the administration on their objectives, she would bring an AUMF to the floor.
During a hearing with Hegseth on Tuesday to pick through the president’s staggering, $1.5 trillion budget request for the Pentagon, Murkowski asked Hegseth if he believed it would “be helpful to the president if it was made clear that, in fact, the Congress did allow, did provide an AUMF” should fighting restart.

“I think the president — our view is that he has all the authorities he needs under Article II to execute,” Hegseth said.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., who started the war powers effort, contended that if an AUMF were put on the floor, and it passed, it would make an “illegal and unwise war, just an unwise war, not an illegal one.”
“But I see almost no circumstance in which Republicans would want to have a vote on that in committee or on the floor,” Kaine told Fox News Digital. “They are actively trying to avoid accountability for the war.”
