ISLAMABAD : Monitoring Desk – The US Senate passed a resolution\u00a0 directing President Donald Trump to end US military action against Iran, marking a rare bipartisan rebuke of the White House while it pushes for peace with Tehran. The US Senate approved a war powers resolution seeking to block military action against Iran on Tuesday, local time.<\/p>\n
While the measure is considered largely symbolic, it reflects the growing concerns among Republican politicians over the war.<\/p>\n
DW reportes with AFP and other news agencies ; The largely symbolic resolution was voted 50-48 by the Republican-majority Senate, after earlier clearing the House of Representatives with Republican support.<\/p>\n
As a “concurrent resolution,” it does not require Trump’s signature and carries disputed legal weight.<\/p>\n
The vote reflected concern in Congress\u00a0over a war that began\u00a0with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February.<\/p>\n
It also is one of the handful of times Republicans have broken with the president to vote across the aisle, highlighting how some congressional members of Trump’s Republican Party are growing skeptical of US military operations against Iran.<\/p>\n
4 Senators Leave Trump Alone\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Republicans hold a majority in the Senate, but four conservatives crossed party lines to approve the resolution, along with nearly all the chamber\u2019s Democrats, save one.<\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s vote marked the first time a war powers resolution had successfully passed both chambers of Congress. But the effort is largely symbolic and is not expected to become law.<\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s breakaway Republicans included Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky. A further two Republicans did not vote: Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n The lone Democrat to side with Republicans on the matter was Pennsylvania\u2019s John Fetterman.<\/p>\n Speaking on the chamber floor, top Democrat Chuck Schumer noted that Tuesday\u2019s vote marked the 10th time the Senate had taken up a war powers resolution to rein in Trump\u2019s military campaign against Iran.<\/p>\n \u201cFor years, Trump promised to put maximum pressure on Iran, but he ended up delivering maximum confusion, maximum chaos, maximum cost to the American people with his disastrous war,\u201d Schumer said.<\/p>\n \u201c\u200aTime after time, the vast majority of Senate Republicans sided with Trump and his war, instead of the American people. The American people have paid the price for Trump\u2019s historic blunder in Iran. It\u2019ll go down in the history books as one of the worst foreign policy forays America has ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n
