Senate to vote on ending Iran war as Americans face higher fuel costs from conflict

The Senate is set to vote on Thursday on a measure demanding an end to the U.S. war with Iran as American consumers reel from sky-high fuel prices due to the conflict. An affirmative vote on the measure, known as a War Powers Resolution , would direct President Donald Trump to remove U.S. troops from hostilities in Iran unless Congress explicitly approves the war. The Senate has voted repeatedly on similar measures since the war began, passing one of them. The measure being voted on Thursday — a "concurrent resolution" — does not carry the force of law and is never signed by the president, making the vote mostly symbolic.
