U.S. Senate Approves War Powers Resolution in Rebuke to Trump Over Iran Conflict

News Desk - The U.S. Senate approved a War Powers resolution for the first time to curb President Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran, in what lawmakers described as a major rebuke and a dramatic reversal from earlier failed attempts.

The resolution directs the president to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes military action, while still allowing a response to an imminent attack on the United States or its allies. Four Republicans Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul joined nearly all Democrats in support, while Democrat John Fetterman voted no. According to reports, the measure now goes to the House, where a similar version had already passed, and other reports noted that the Senate’s approval came at a time when the U.S. and Iran were in the early stages of talks aimed at ending the war.

It was the 10th Senate attempt to stop the war, making the result a striking turnaround from earlier defeats, including votes that had failed in March and April. The measure is largely symbolic because War Powers resolutions do not require the president’s signature, but it still represents the first time the Republican-led Senate has voted to end the U.S. war with Iran. Reports also said the Pentagon is seeking around $80 billion from Congress, mostly to replenish munitions and stockpiles used in the Iran campaign, underscoring the scale of the conflict and the political pressure around it.

The vote marks a clear political rebuke to Trump, even if it may not by itself end U.S. military action against Iran. It also shows that opposition to the war has deepened enough to produce a successful Senate vote for the first time.
