The resolution sought to force President Donald Trump to end military hostilities in Iran unless authorized by Congress.
Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic resolution to end U.S. military involvement in Iran for the fourth time. The 47-52 vote occurs as the conflict nears the 60-day War Powers Act deadline, prompting Democrats to plan weekly votes to pressure the GOP.

Left-leaning outlets like The New Republic frame the vote as Republicans "killing" efforts to rein in a "war of choice," while right-leaning sources like Fox News describe it as a rejection of a "Democrat attempt" to curb executive authority. Most center-leaning coverage, including Reuters, focuses on the legislative stalemate and Trump's claims that the military campaign is nearing its end.
