Senate Rejects Iran War Powers Resolution
The House voted to pass an Iran war powers resolution earlier this month in a symbolic rebuke of the U.S. military campaign against Tehran.
The U.S. Senate rejected a war powers resolution on September 24th that would have directed President Donald Trump to end military action against Iran. This vote occurred nearly seven months into Operation Epic Fury and just weeks before the midterm election. It marked the 14th time the Senate considered a war powers resolution concerning the conflict with Iran.
