Senate Iran War Powers Resolution Falls Short by One Vote—Thanks to John Fetterman
🔴 Tension RisingCommon Dreams2026-05-13
The Senate once again failed to pass a resolution restricting President Trump's ability to use military force against Iran, with a Democratic senator casting the deciding vote. The resolution would have passed had Fetterman supported it, but failed due to Republican opposition. This marks the seventh time the Senate has blocked a war powers resolution on Iran since Trump's alleged illegal initiation of the conflict.
