​The ​Republican-majority U.S. Senate ‌backed legislation ​on Tuesday to halt ‌U.S. military action against Iran, but it was not ‌immediately clear how it would ‌affect the conflict as President Donald Trump's administration negotiates a ⁠peace ​agreement ⁠with the Islamic republic.

The Senate voted ⁠50-48 in favor of ​the concurrent resolution, which passed ⁠the House of Representatives early ⁠this month, ​reflecting growing concern even among some ⁠of Trump's Republicans about the unpopular ⁠conflict ⁠that began on February 28.
