The Senate failed to curb Donald Trump’s war on Iran, despite growing Republican opposition. Lisa Murkowski voted in favor of a war powers resolution, noting continued attacks on US forces and the enforcement of a blockade of Iranian ports. Murkowski stated that Congress had yet to formally authorize continued US involvement after 60 days, as mandated by the 1973 War Powers Act.
