  "summary": "The US Senate narrowly rejected a Democratic-led resolution on Thursday that aimed to compel President Donald Trump to end the war in Iran or seek congressional authorization, in a move that Democrats hoped would put Republicans on the defensive ahead of the November midterm elections. The 50-49 vote, largely along party lines, was largely symbolic, as the Trump administration has not altered its policy in response to previous war powers votes. Four Republicans voted in favor of the resolution, while only one Democrat, John Fetterman, voted against it. The vote came two days after Trump threatened to \"annihilate\" Iran in a UN speech, with polls showing 34% of respondents approved of the strikes on Iran. Democrats argue that Trump's actions may have drawn the country into a prolonged conflict by failing to outline a clear strategy, while Republicans maintain that Trump's actions are within his constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief.",
