The United States Senate rejected a Democratic-led resolution by 50-49 on Thursday afternoon to curb military powers against Iran ahead of midterm elections. The vote fell largely along party lines despite voter discontent over the conflict pushing up fuel prices. Only 34% of respondents approved of the strikes in recent polls.
