Senate votes to remove US forces from conflict with Iran

It is the first time the chamber has passed a measure aimed at limiting President Donald Trumps war powers

The US Senate has, for the first time, passed a resolution directing President Donald Trump to withdraw American forces from hostilities involving Iran.

The Senate voted 50-48 on Tuesday, with four Republicans joining Democrats in support of the measure. The resolution passed the House by a vote of 215-208 earlier this month.

According to AP, the resolution is largely symbolic but reflects growing opposition to the president’s Iran policy.
