The US Senate approves, for the first time, a War Powers resolution addressing the conflict with Iran, passing the measure by a vote of 50–48 in a bipartisan outcome. Multiple reports say this is the 10th time the Senate has attempted to block or limit the war related to Iran, highlighting that earlier efforts have not succeeded. The resolution is framed as a rebuke to President Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict and is intended to constrain the administration’s ability to continue hostilities without congressional approval. The measure’s passage marks a change from previous attempts, which had failed to reach the support needed to advance or block actions tied to the conflict. The Senate’s approval sets up next steps under the War Powers framework, where the administration and Congress consider how the resolution affects ongoing military actions and future authorization. The vote reflects a split within Congress but includes enough support across party lines to overcome the historical pattern of failed efforts.
