US Senate Passes Resolution to Block President Trump from Military Action Against Iran

The Republican-controlled US Senate has passed a bill aimed at preventing US military actions against Iran. However, it remains unclear how the legislation will immediately affect the conflict, as President Donald Trump's administration is negotiating a peace agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

On Tuesday (local time), the Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the concurrent resolution, which had already been passed by the House earlier this month. The move reflects growing concern, even among some of Trump's fellow Republican lawmakers, about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28.
