3 Republicans break with Trump in US Senate vote to block war in Iran
A War Powers Resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s military actions in Iran failed in the U.S. Senate with a 49-50 vote. Three Republican senators—Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, and Susan Collins—supported the measure, while Democratic Senator John Fetterman voted against it. Recent U.S. and Saudi strikes on Iran-backed militias in Iraq followed Iranian drone attacks, raising oil prices and gasoline costs.
