US Senate Democrats block $1.15 trillion defense bill over Iran war objections, @ReutersZengerle reports (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Democrats blocked a $1.15 trillion annual defense policy bill on Tuesday, citing frustration with the Iran war and President Donald Trump's failure to consult with Congress about his decision to send U.S. forces into the conflict. "Trump started this war without authorization, without a strategy, and without an exit," Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate's Democratic leader, said in a Senate speech announcing he would vote no. The procedural vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, failed. Even though the yes votes outnumbered no votes by 50-46, the bill fell short of the 60 votes needed to move ahead in the 100-member Senate. The vote was along party lines. Every Republican voted in favor of moving ahead except for the chamber's Republican majority leader, John Thune of South Dakota, who voted no under Senate rules only in order to enter a motion to reconsider. The bill had been expected to stall, after nine Democratic members of the Armed Services Committee voted against the NDAA when the panel considered it last month. The NDAA typically passes with strong bipartisan support. Democrats are concerned that authorizing a huge Pentagon budget would be seen as approval of the war on Iran that began with strikes by the U.S. and Israel on February 28. They also object to the Trump administration's push to increase military spending to a total of $1.5 trillion this year, including several hundred million dollars he has requested in a separate spending bill, even as social programs for Americans are being cut.

6× U.S. Air Force aerial refueling aircraft are now airborne over the Gulf region as the United States launches a new wave of strikes against Iran. A U.S. Air Force E-3G Sentry AWACS aircraft is also operating over northeastern Saudi Arabia, near the Kuwaiti border.











According to my sources, anti-ship cruise missiles were also launched towards U.S. Navy vessels sailing off the coast of Iran. There's the possibility that the IRGC tried to hit American aircraft carriers in the Gulf of Oman, following Trump's announcement of the blockade.
