A majority of the U.S. Senate backed President Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran on Wednesday (April 15, 2026), voting to block a Democratic-led resolution aiming to stop the war until hostilities are authorized by Congress.
The Senate voted 52-47 not to advance the war powers resolution, underscoring his party’s continuing support for the Republican president’s war policy more than six weeks after the U.S. and Israel launched air strikes on Iran on February 28.
