US Senate rejects resolution to end war with Iran

On Thursday, the United States Senate voted against a resolution that sought to halt hostilities with Iran, effectively maintaining the current state of conflict. The measure, introduced by a bipartisan group of senators, called for an immediate cease‑fire and a diplomatic pathway to resolve disputes over nuclear activities and regional influence. Critics argued the resolution was premature and could undermine national security, while supporters said it was necessary to prevent further escalation. The defeat keeps existing sanctions and military postures in place, signaling continued tension between Washington and Tehran.
