Senate GOP defeats resolution directing Trump to end Iran war as more Republicans sour on conflict
Middle East3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported24m ago
On Thursday, Senate Republicans defeated a House-passed war powers resolution that would have directed President Trump to end the U.S. conflict with Iran and withdraw American troops. The vote took place in the Senate as the conflict surpassed the 200-day mark, resulting in the deaths of 19 U.S. service members.
The legislative effort, introduced by Democrats, was blocked by the Senate GOP majority in one of their final votes prior to the November elections. Despite the resolution's defeat, the vote highlighted a growing dissatisfaction and distance among some Republican senators regarding President Trump's handling of the war, with four GOP members joining nearly the entire Democratic caucus to support the measure.
