WASHINGTON, April 15 (Reuters) – A majority of the U.S. Senate backed President Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran on Wednesday, voting to block a Democratic-led resolution aiming to stop the war until hostilities are authorized by Congress.

As voting continued, the tally was 51-47 to block the war powers resolution, as almost all of Trump’s fellow Republicans voted against it.
