Democrats block $1.15 trillion US defence bill over Trump's undeclared Iran war

Senate Democrats blocked the $1.15 trillion annual National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) on Tuesday, citing anger over President Donald Trump's war with Iran and his failure to consult Congress before taking military action. The vote represents a significant legislative standoff that could affect US military funding and the broader American posture toward Iran. Democrats framed the move as a pushback against executive overreach in matters of war and peace.
