US Senate rejects bill to halt operations against Iran

WASHINGTON, United States — The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted down a resolution that would have required an immediate end to U.S. military operations against Iran, keeping the current operations in place. The measure sought to compel a binding decision to stop the operations, but the Senate majority rejected it, signaling continued support for the administration's existing Iran policy. The vote comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran and ongoing debates in Washington over U.S. military posture in the Middle East. The outcome indicates that no near-term shift in the U.S. strategy toward Iran is expected from Congress. No further details on the vote breakdown or next legislative steps were immediately available.
