The US Senate voted 50-48 to pass legislation directing President Donald Trump to halt US military action against Iran. This vote follows a similar passage in the House of Representatives earlier this month. The resolution reflects growing congressional concern, including among some Republicans, about the conflict that began on February 28 with a US and Israeli attack on Iran. This marks the first time since the War Powers Act of 1973 that both chambers of Congress have passed a resolution directing a president to remove US armed forces from hostilities.
