The US Senate passes a largely symbolic resolution calling for an end to US 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 US 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.
The US and Iran are currently in a ceasefire amid negotiations, and Trump is likely to entirely ignore the resolution’s passage.
