US Senate rejects bid to halt war on Iran without congressional approval

US Senate rejects bid to halt war on Iran without congressional approval US senators voted 52 to 47 against a Democratic-led resolution seeking to halt the US-Israeli war on Iran unless authorised by Congress. Republican Senator Rand Paul was the only member of his party to back the measure, while Senator Jim Justice did not vote. The vote marks the fourth failed attempt by Democrats to pass similar resolutions since the war began, with Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman the only Democrat to oppose it.
