Senate fails to advance measure directing Trump to end Iran conflict despite four GOP defections

The Senate couldn't pass a resolution urging President Trump to end hostilities with Iran, even though four Republicans defied the party line to support it. Senators Rand Paul, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Bill Cassidy joined Democrat Raphael Warnock in backing the measure, highlighting growing bipartisan concern over the conflict. This failure underscores deep divisions within Congress about how to handle U.S. involvement in the Middle East and could signal broader tensions ahead regarding foreign policy decisions.
