US Senate rejects war powers resolution on Iran conflict

The US Senate voted 47–53 to reject a war powers resolution that sought to limit US military involvement in the conflict with Iran, blocking it from advancing to the floor, NBC News reported.

Senator John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against the measure, while Senator Rand Paul was the only Republican to support it, in a vote that largely followed party lines.

The resolution aimed to require the president to withdraw US armed forces from hostilities with Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress.
