The US Senate voted 49-50 against a resolution aimed at restricting President Trump's authority to engage in military action in Iran. This decision comes amid escalating tensions following recent US airstrikes in retaliation for an Iranian missile attack on a US base in Jordan. The conflict has now lasted over five months, raising concerns among lawmakers about its prolonged nature.
The failed resolution marks the second attempt in two weeks to compel Trump to withdraw forces without explicit congressional approval. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties among US service members and raised questions about the transparency of military operations and funding requirements.
