The U.S. Senate has passed a resolution to limit President Donald Trump's war powers and block military action against Iran after 10 attempts.

On Wednesday, the Senate passed the resolution to prevent President Trump from resuming war with Iran by a vote of 50 to 48.

Four senators from the ruling Republican Party, who have had strained relations with President Trump, broke ranks to vote in favor of the resolution. They include Susan Collins (Maine), Bill Cassidy (Louisiana), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Rand Paul (Kentucky).

From the Democratic Party, Senator John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) cast a dissenting vote.

The resolution passed as two Republican senators, including Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) who was recently hospitalized, were unable to attend the plenary session.

This passage comes after 10 attempts.

Previously, the resolution had been blocked by the opposition of the majority of Republican senators.

The passage of the resolution is largely symbolic, and opinions remain divided on whether it holds legal weight.

The House of Representatives also passed a similar resolution earlier this month.

The passage of this resolution is seen as an indication of growing concerns from both parties regarding President Trump's approach toward Iran.

President Trump has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end the war with Iran and has entered into follow-up negotiations, but criticism is mounting even within the ruling party that the U.S. has conceded too much compared to Iran's commitments.

However, the majority of Republican senators opposed the resolution.

Before the vote, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman James Risch argued that the resolution would have no effect and would weaken U.S. negotiating leverage with Iran, stating, "If this passes, Iran will simply get up and walk away from the negotiating table."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the move, saying, "Senate Republicans have continued to side with Trump instead of the American people," and added, "Americans have paid the price for Trump's historic mistakes."

The resolution requires the cessation of hostilities against Iran unless authorized by Congress for further attacks.

The resolution is based on the War Powers Act of 1973, which prevents the president from exercising a veto.

While it is unlikely that President Trump will respect the resolution passed by both the Senate and the House to determine his future actions, his own intentions are also focused on continuing follow-up negotiations to reach a final agreement under the current ceasefire to minimize the damage caused by a prolonged war.

With the Senate's negative sentiment confirmed by this resolution, analysts say that the U.S. Department of Defense's plan to secure $80 billion in war funding has also hit a red light.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is visiting Congress this week to emphasize the need for budget support.
