US Senate again rejects resolution to force authorization for Iran war

The U.S. Senate rejected a seventh attempt to force President Donald Trump to obtain congressional approval for military operations in Iran, with a 49-50 vote. The war, launched on Feb. 28, has killed 13 American service members and injured 404, costing $29 billion, while a claimed ceasefire remains disputed. Senate Democrats argue hostilities continue, and House lawmakers may soon address a similar resolution.
