US Congress passes symbolic Iran war rebuke to Trump
The U.S. Senate passed a largely symbolic resolution Tuesday calling for an end to President Donald Trump's war with Iran, delivering a fresh rebuke to the White House as it tries to negotiate a lasting settlement with Tehran.
The House-passed measure, adopted by the Senate in a 50-48 vote, directs Trump to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes military action.
Because the measure is a "concurrent resolution," it does not go to Trump's desk for signature and carries disputed legal force.
But its passage still puts both chambers of Congress on record against a conflict that began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February, rattled global energy markets and opened a broader regional war involving Lebanon and Gulf states.
