Washington: US President Donald Trump has strongly criticized a congressional resolution calling for an end to military action against Iran, describing the measure as untimely and ineffective. His remarks come amid ongoing debate in Washington over the administration’s approach toward Tehran.
Speaking about the resolution, Trump said it was “meaningless” and argued that it undermines efforts to maintain pressure on Iran. He claimed that recent US actions have placed Iran in a weakened position and that the country is facing significant challenges as a result of American policies.
The president also expressed frustration with lawmakers who supported the measure, saying their actions had complicated his efforts. Despite the criticism, Trump maintained that he would continue pursuing his objectives and remained confident in achieving the desired outcome.
According to Trump, his administration’s strategy is focused on protecting US interests and maintaining stability in the region. He argued that sustained pressure on Iran is necessary and insisted that his policies have been effective in advancing American goals.
The controversy follows a vote in the US Senate, where a joint resolution aimed at restricting military action against Iran received support by a narrow margin. The vote highlighted ongoing divisions among lawmakers regarding the scope of presidential authority in military matters.
Earlier this month, the same resolution was also approved by the House of Representatives. Supporters of the measure argue that any significant military engagement should require congressional authorization to ensure constitutional oversight and accountability.
