Senate Advances Measure to Force Trump to End Iran War

The US Senate voted to take up a measure aimed at compelling President Trump to end military action in Iran, marking a significant legislative rebuke of the administration's war powers. The bill advanced after Senator Bill Cassidy, who lost his Louisiana GOP primary, flipped to support it. Trump said he was holding off on new strikes for only a "limited period of time" and insisted the war was "very popular," while Tehran warned of "many more surprises" if the conflict resumes. The vote signals growing bipartisan unease with the administration's escalation in the Middle East.
