U.S. Senate votes to end war against Iran

The United States Senate approved a symbolic resolution calling for an end to the military offensive against Iran and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region. The vote was 50‑48, with four Republican senators—Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy—joining Democrats in breaking ranks. The resolution, which does not have the force of law, mirrors a similar measure passed earlier by the House of Representatives (215‑208) and cites the 1973 War Powers Act to demand the pull‑out of troops, except those needed to protect assets or allies.

Senate leadership highlighted the bipartisan opposition to President Donald Trump’s unilateral war powers, marking a notable, though largely procedural, rebuke of the administration’s policy in the Middle East.
