Trump said the US House of Representatives resolution preventing him from waging war on Iran was "tied the President's hand", calling on the Senate not to pass.

"The fact that the US Senate does not vote in favor of the Iran War Rights Resolution is very important to our national security. We are acting very properly with Iran and this is not the time to show weaknesses." , US President Donald Trump posted on Twitter yesterday.

"If I get my hands tied, Iran will take action," Trump wrote, saying it would send a "very bad signal" to Tehran. "The Democratic Party has issued this resolution to humiliate Republicans. Don't let that happen."

The statement was made by Trump after the US House of Representatives led by the Democratic Party on January 1 passed the Iran War Rights Resolution with 224 votes for and 194 votes against, asking Trump not to take any military action. any hostility to Iran if it has not been authorized by Congress or the United States faces an adjacent armed attack.

However, this resolution is unlikely to be passed in the Senate, where the Republican party is in the majority. In case the US Congress passes, it still has the risk of being rejected by the White House boss. Democrats last month said they had votes in favor of Republicans to approve the resolution.

Under the War Power Act of 1973, the president needs to inform Congress about large-scale military actions. However, Trump ordered an air strike to kill Iranian General Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad airport without passing parliament.

After the death of General Soleimani, Tehran responded with a missile strike on a military base with US troops stationed in Iraq. The two countries have made a number of "downgraded" moves, but the US insiders continue to argue over the cause and legal grounds for killing General Soleimani. Many US lawmakers accused Trump of being over-parliamentary, calling his airstrike a decision to trigger unnecessary tensions.
