US Senate joins House in voting to halt Iran war

The U.S. Senate voted 50-48 to direct President Donald Trump to halt military action against Iran, joining the House in passing a war powers resolution. This marks the first time since the 1973 War Powers Act that both chambers of Congress have passed such a resolution, reflecting bipartisan concern over the conflict initiated on February 28 by U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.
