US Senate rejects Iran war powers resolution for seventh time, 50-49

The U.S. Senate rejected a resolution aimed at curbing President Trump’s authority to conduct military operations against Iran for the seventh time. Despite a legal threshold having passed, the administration argues the ceasefire effectively paused the 60-day clock under the War Powers Act. This repeated defeat highlights the ongoing struggle between Congress and the executive branch over the use of military force and reflects concerns about congressional authorization for the conflict.
