US Senate blocks Trump from resuming war with Iran after bipartisan vote
The 50-48 vote, backed by four Republicans, is largely symbolic but signals growing congressional pressure to curb renewed military action.
- On Tuesday, the Senate approved a war powers resolution in a 50-48 vote seeking to block U.S. military action against Iran, marking a rare rebuke of President Donald Trump. This marked the first time the Senate passed such a measure.
- Democrats have repeatedly forced votes on the conflict since U.S. and Israeli missile strikes on Feb. 28, gradually gaining GOP support following earlier House approval. The measure proceeded over objections of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leadership.
- Four Republican senators—Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Rand Paul, and Bill Cassidy—joined Democrats in the vote, while Democrat John Fetterman voted against the measure. Mitch McConnell's absence left the GOP without a full majority to halt the resolution.
- Trump labeled the dissenting Republicans "GRANDSTANDERS" and their action "unpatriotic" in a Truth Social post after the vote. The president is meeting GOP senators at Capitol Hill this week amid internal pressure over his Iran deal.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is seeking roughly $80 billion in supplemental funding to replenish military stockpiles, drawing scrutiny amid rising costs. Trump's Memorandum of Understanding started a 60-day clock for reaching a broader agreement on ending Iran's nuclear program.
