The United States Senate passed a concurrent resolution to halt military operations against Iran, according to reports from Al Jazeera and other news outlets. The measure received a vote of 50 to 48 in favor, following the establishment of a memorandum of understanding between the two nations last week.
According to the New York Post, the resolution included four votes from Republican senators. This bipartisan support is noted by several media outlets as a response to concerns regarding the duration and popularity of the conflict, which began on February 28.
The House of Representatives approved the measure earlier this month. NDTV reports that the vote reflects growing unease among some members of the Trump administration's party concerning the war. The resolution provides a formal legislative step to end active hostilities following the diplomatic agreement reached last week.
