US President Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out at the Senate after it approved a resolution aimed at limiting further American military action against Iran without congressional approval, accusing a group of Republican lawmakers of undermining his negotiating position and providing "aid and comfort" to America's adversaries.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran was in a weakened position and ready to make major concessions when the Senate moved ahead with what he described as a "poorly timed and meaningless War Powers Act Vote".
"So, I have Iran on the 'ropes,' ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything, and for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the United States and its President, ME," Trump wrote.
He criticised four Republican senators who joined Democrats in backing the measure, calling them "Republican Losers" and claiming the vote had complicated ongoing efforts to deal with Tehran.
"These Senators have just made my job more difficult, but I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!" Trump said.
