A group of Democratic senators said Monday that they are prepared to use the procedural tools available to them to disrupt the Senate’s normal flow of work to force public debate about the war with Iran.

If Republican leadership refuses, Democrats say they will bring a series of war powers resolutions to the floor in the coming weeks.
