US Senate backs Trump's Iran strikes, Nigeria protests solidarity stance
US Senate rejects war powers resolution, allowing Trump to continue Operation Epic Fury against Iran. Vote 53-47 along party lines. Only Rand Paul supported resolution; John Fetterman opposed. Democrats argue lack of strategy and constitutional authority; Republicans defend commander-in-chief powers. Nigeria's IGP states 'necessary actions' taken regarding Iran solidarity protests. Impact: Nigeria's position on Iran may shift amid US-Iran tensions. Will Nigeria maintain solidarity protests or align with US pressure?
