The Republican-led Senate has voted for the first time to end the U.S. war with Iran, approving a House-passed resolution aimed at reining in President Donald Trump. This marks the first time such a measure has passed through both chambers. Four Senate Republicans crossed party lines to approve the resolution, which calls for the removal of U.S. armed forces from hostilities and stipulates that Congress must authorize any further military action.
Although the measure is largely symbolic and does not carry the force of law or require the president's signature, it reflects deep bipartisan frustration with the conflict. The war has roiled markets, caused global economic fallout, and raised the cost of living for Americans. The legislative rebuke comes one week after the president signed a framework with Tehran.
The vote highlights growing concerns among Republican lawmakers over the war and the specific deal Trump struck to end it. Senate Republicans are requesting further details regarding sanctions relief, nuclear restrictions, and congressional approval. These developments come as the U.S. and Iran are in the early stages of talks aimed at ending the war.
