Big decision of US Senate, order to stop war against Iran, now the President will have to take approval

The US Senate has passed a resolution to stop military action against Iran. Now President Donald Trump will have to seek approval from the US Congress before launching any new attack on Iran. This decision, passed by a vote of 50-48, has imposed new restrictions on the powers of the President.

This vote took place on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. Earlier, in June 2026 itself, the House of Representatives had also approved this proposal. Four Republican lawmakers joined the Democrats in this voting, including Senator Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul. At the same time, Senator John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against this proposal.

According to the rules, now the President will have to take special permission for declaration of war or use of military force. This step has been taken under the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Because it has been passed by both houses of Congress, the proposal does not require the President’s signature.

Senator Tim Kaine said the decision was necessary to reassert Congress’ power to declare war. At the same time, Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called it a major defeat for the administration’s foreign policy. On the other hand, Senator James Risch believes that this step could spoil the ongoing talks with Iran on the nuclear program.

The Trump administration has called this proposal just for show and said that it will have no legal effect. The White House believes that the War Powers Act is unconstitutional. This decision has come at a time when there has been an agreement to end the war between America and Iran. In this agreement, a fund of 300 billion dollars is proposed to lift the sanctions on Iran’s oil and its reconstruction.

The Pentagon has informed lawmakers that they need about $80 billion to meet the expenses of the war against Iran.
