Senator John Fetterman broke with his party to vote against the measure that would have restricted military action in Iran.
Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic resolution to halt military operations in Iran in a 47-52 vote. The failure to pass the measure highlights growing tension over executive war powers and economic fallout as the conflict nears the 60-day legal threshold.

Several outlets, including TIME and The Washington Post, note that Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against the resolution.
