Fetterman casts only Democratic ‘no’ vote as Senate passes measure to block US action against Iran

AI Summary

Senator Fetterman cast the sole Democratic vote against a Senate measure blocking US military action against Iran. The measure comes amid ongoing peace talks and a Pentagon request for supplemental funding related to the conflict.

The vote — the 10th attempt by Senate Democrats to withdraw troops from the Iran conflict — came as peace talks had run on-again, off-again, and as the Pentagon sought $80 billion from Congress in supplemental funding for the war effort.
