For the ninth time, the U.S. Senate has failed to pass a war powers resolution aimed to minimize the Trump administration's military operation in Iran. The legislative failure again fell short mainly on party lines and concluded with a 47-48 vote, even as four Republicans—Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul of Kentucky—voted in favor of the war powers resolution introduced by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.). Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) voted against it. This latest vote comes on the heels of what the Trump administration has touted as an agreement reached between U.S. and Iranian officials to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and ensure that Iran does not have the ability to manufacture a nuclear weapon. However, some lawmakers and outside observers remain skeptical as no specifics of the purported agreement have been publicly disclosed while President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have stated the agreement should be ready by this Friday. "Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!" Trump said Tuesday on Truth Social. Critiques of the strikes that were initially launched by the United States and Israel toward Iran on Feb. 28 have been routine, namely from the Democratic Party, as that ignited a broader operation engulfing multiple Middle East nations while having detrimental economic effects on Americans—namely at gas pumps and grocery stores. “Join me in putting a check on this president’s lawless warmongering,” Warnock (D-Ga.) said before he voted, according to the Associated Press. “The time is always right to do what’s right."
