The US Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution calling for an end to President Donald Trump’s military engagement with Iran, marking the latest congressional pushback against the White House as it seeks to negotiate a long-term agreement with Tehran.
The measure, which cleared the Senate in a 50-48 vote, directs the president to withdraw US forces from hostilities involving Iran unless Congress specifically authorises the use of military force.
However, the resolution is largely symbolic. As a concurrent resolution, it does not require President Trump’s signature and is not legally binding, with its enforceability remaining disputed.
