The Senate again rejected advancing a measure to direct President Donald Trump to end the war in Iran, a vote that comes as a brief respite in fighting appears to be over.
The Senate voted 49-50 on Thursday against discharging from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a war powers resolution offered by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., that would require Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from fighting against Iran unless specifically authorized by Congress.
