Washington,— The US Senate has voted down a resolution that would have required congressional approval for any additional US military strikes against Iran.
The measure was rejected by a vote of 47-52, largely along party lines. The resolution, pushed by Democrats, sought to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to conduct further military action against Iran without explicit approval from Congress.
With the failure of the resolution, the administration will not be required to seek prior congressional authorization for continued operations in the ongoing conflict.
This marks the fourth time the Senate has blocked similar War Powers resolutions related to the Iran conflict. Republicans largely opposed the measure, arguing that it would undermine the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief, while Democrats insisted on greater congressional oversight over military engagements.
The vote comes amid heightened tensions in the US-Iran conflict, with military operations still ongoing.
