Trump met with GOP senators and berated them over an Iran war powers resolution, causing two to flip their votes and kill the measure. Separately, wounded soldiers accused Pentagon leadership of downplaying the severity of combat injuries from Iran strikes in official reports.
Trump met with GOP senators and berated them over an Iran war powers resolution, pressuring enough of them to flip their votes and tank the measure. Meanwhile, wounded soldiers are accusing Pentagon leadership of downplaying combat injuries from Iran strikes in official reports, suggesting the administration is managing the narrative around costs.
War powers votes are supposed to be about constitutional authority—Congress checking executive power to wage war. Trump's direct pressure on senators to vote his way turns it into a loyalty test instead. The soldiers' accusations about injury reports are darker: they suggest the Pentagon is actively minimizing how bad things actually are on the ground. Together, they show suppression of both legislative oversight and truthful information about what the war is actually costing.
