The US Senate on Thursday blocked a Democratic-led resolution to end US military operations against Iran, with a 47-50 vote. The resolution, introduced by Sen. Adam Schiff, aimed to open debate on withdrawing US forces from the conflict. Senate Democrats argued that the 60-day deadline for Congress to authorize military actions under the 1973 War Powers Act was nearing. Two Republicans, Sens. Rand Paul and Susan Collins, voted with Democrats in support of the measure. US military forces have struck over 13,000 targets across Iran since launching Operation Epic Fury on February 28. The conflict has been in a tentative ceasefire since April 6.
