Senate rejects resolution to limit Trump's Iran war powers

The US Senate on Tuesday narrowly rejected a war powers resolution on Iran as President Trump touts a framework agreement with Tehran to end the monthslong conflict.

Axar.az reports, citing CBS news, senators rejected a motion to discharge the resolution out of committee in a 47 to 48 vote. Four Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky — joined nearly all Democrats in favor. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the sole Democrat to oppose.

The war powers resolution, led by Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, would direct the president to "remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force."
