The US Senate voted on Thursday opposing a resolution thatsought to halt US military operations against Iran by requiring congressionalauthorization for further military action.
The Republican-controlled Senate rejected the measure, whichwould have required President Donald Trump to obtain approval from Congressbefore continuing military operations against Iran.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called on Trump toend the war with Iran and halt military operations.
The vote follows previous efforts by Democratic lawmakers tolimit the president's war powers. On March 25, the Senate rejected aDemocratic-led initiative aimed at restricting Trump's authority to launchmilitary action against Iran without congressional approval.
Democrats have introduced several war powers resolutions inrecent months in an effort to prevent the administration from continuingmilitary operations against Iran without congressional consent.
The party has also sought to link the conflict with Iran,which it says lacks broad public support, to concerns over the economic cost ofthe war ahead of the US midterm elections scheduled for November.
US military carried out another wave of airstrikes onIranian targets between late Wednesday and early Thursday. Iran responded bylaunching attacks on US bases in neighboring countries, three weeks after thecollapse of a temporary ceasefire that had been intended to end the conflict.
