A Senate resolution to curb President Donald Trump’s authority to continue the Iran war without congressional approval has failed again, marking the fourth rejection.
The measure was defeated 52-47 along party lines, with most Republicans backing the administration’s military strategy. The proposal sought to enforce limits under the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which requires congressional approval for prolonged military action.

Democrats said they will keep introducing similar resolutions weekly to force lawmakers on record. Senator Tim Kaine said the effort is aimed at ensuring accountability, according to BBC.
Some Republicans signaled that their stance could shift if the conflict extends beyond 60 days. Senator Rand Paul was the only Republican to support the resolution, while Democrat John Fetterman opposed it.
The vote comes as the Trump administration continues its blockade of Iranian ports and pushes for a negotiated end to the conflict.
