The U.S. Senate approved a resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's military actions in Iran, marking the first time such a measure has passed both chambers of Congress.
The resolution directs the president to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless Congress declares war or authorizes military force. This action follows a series of previous attempts to rein in Trump's military authority regarding Iran, which began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on February 28, 2026.
The Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the resolution, with four Republican senators joining Democrats in support. The House had previously passed the same measure in June. However, the resolution is largely symbolic as it does not require the president's signature and does not carry the force of law.
The passage of this resolution reflects growing bipartisan concern regarding the military conflict with Iran and may influence future congressional actions related to military engagements.
