Big blow to Trump on Iran war, US Parliament approves proposal to stop military action

US President Donald Trump has suffered a major setback on the issue of military action against Iran. The US Senate, the upper house of the US Parliament, has supported a resolution demanding the President to stop US military action against Iran. The special thing is that this proposal also got the support of some MPs of Trump’s Republican Party.

50 votes were cast in favor of the proposal in the Senate.

50 votes were cast in the Senate in support of this proposal related to war powers, while 48 MPs opposed it. President Trump is facing the resentment of some MPs of his own party regarding the war with Iran.

Trump’s party MPs also supported

The Republican Party holds a slight majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Despite this, four MPs of the party voted in favor of the proposal. Two MPs were not present in the House during voting. On the other hand, a senator from the Democratic Party voted against the proposal.

Proposal passed by both houses

This is the first time that both houses of the US Parliament have passed such a resolution, in which the President has been directed to remove the US army from the front. This step has been taken under the War Powers Act of 1973.

Also got support in the House of Representatives

This proposal was also passed in the lower house of Representatives. 215 votes were cast in its support, while 208 MPs voted against it. Here also four MPs of the Republican Party voted in favor of the proposal.

What will be the impact of Trump’s decision?

It is not yet clear what impact this opposition within the Republican Party will have on President Trump’s decisions. At present, talks are going on between America and Iran regarding a peace agreement and the possibility of a possible agreement between the two parties is being expressed.

Legal dispute may also deepen

Under the War Powers Act, this proposal is not sent to the White House for the President’s signature. However, the White House says that this proposal is not constitutional and therefore cannot be considered binding. Experts believe that the final resolution of this dispute can be found in the courts.
