WASHINGTON, ‌Sept 24 (Reuters) - ​The ​US Senate on ‌Thursday narrowly rejected a ⁠Democratic-led resolution ‌aiming to stop the ‌Iran war until hostilities are ​authorized by Congress.

The Senate ⁠voted 50 to 49 to ​reject the resolution, which had passed ​the House ‌of Representatives in July. ⁠The vote was largely along ⁠party lines, with most ​of President Donald Trump's Republicans rejecting the ‌measure and almost every Democrat ‌voting ⁠for it.
