Congressional Democrats on Feb. 26 vowed to advance resolutions in the Senate and House of Representatives in an effort to prevent President Donald Trump from directing military action against Iran.

Democrats are hoping to force Trump to consult more deeply with Congress, as the president has repeatedly signaled he’s willing to pursue military action if Tehran doesn’t come to a deal on its nuclear agenda. On Thursday, U.S. and Iranian negotiators concluded a round of talks in Geneva, Switzerland, without reaching a diplomatic breakthrough.
