3 Republicans break with Trump in US Senate vote to block war in Iran

A War Powers Resolution to limit President Trump's military conflict in Iran failed in the U.S. Senate with a 49-50 vote, as three Republican senators—Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, and Susan Collins—supported the measure. The House had previously passed the resolution, but it did not gain Senate approval. Recent U.S. and Saudi airstrikes on Iran-backed militias in Iraq followed Iranian drone attacks, leading to higher oil prices and increased U.S. gasoline costs.
