US Senate passes war powers resolution to halt Iran conflict.

The US Senate voted 50-48 on June 23, 2026 to pass a war powers resolution directing President Trump to end military action against Iran or seek congressional authorization. Four Republican senators joined all but one Democrat in supporting the measure, which the House passed earlier in June. The resolution is largely symbolic and does not require the president's signature.
