One Democrat voted against it, Xinhua news agency reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resolution &#8220;directs the President to remove US Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted,&#8221; according to a summary of the legislation published on the Congress website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also reaffirms Congress&#8217; constitutional authority to declare war and initiate military hostilities, with supporters arguing that the war against Iran amounted to an unauthorized &#8220;war of choice.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some US media outlets described the resolution&#8217;s passage as largely symbolic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But Tuesday&#8217;s resolution will likely be largely symbolic, since the administration argues that US forces are not currently engaged in hostilities with Iran,&#8221; CBS News reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NBC News noted that &#8220;the largely symbolic measure&#8217;s passage comes as the US and Iran are in the early stages of talks aimed at ending the war.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democrats, however, argued that a war powers resolution remains necessary even after the United States reached a deal to end the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a good time to have the vote to say, &#8216;Hey, if we&#8217;re really in a period of maybe some stability here, let&#8217;s not just allow it to start up again without Congress being involved in that decision,'&#8221; Senator Tim Kaine told reporters last week, according to CNN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, The US Senate passed a war powers resolution on Iran, restricting President Donald Trump from launching further military operations in Iran without congressional approval.
