The Senate on June 27 rejected a resolution submitted by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) that calls for an immediate retraction of funding and support for any military activity related to Iran by the United States if it’s not approved by Congress.
A response to the United States’ bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities earlier in June, Kaine’s resolution—brought to the floor after a cease-fire in the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran had already gone into effect—failed in a 47–53 vote. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) joined Republicans in voting down the measure.
