Trump losing Republicans? Numbers fall
The U.S. Senate, where the majority is held by the Republican Party, for the first time voted in favor of ending the United States' war with Iran.
However, as Bloomberg reports, the vote ending with a result of 50:48 does not determine the further course of the conflict, because Washington and Tehran had previously agreed on a temporary ceasefire to suspend hostilities.

The agency notes, however, that the above event is a "rare and symbolic expression of opposition to Trump".
"Although it is unlikely that this resolution will force any changes in the administration's strategy, it represents the latest signal, that the president lacks domestic support for these actions", the statement said.
Trump, as predicted, did not share the Senate's position on this matter.
"So I have Iran on the board, ready to collapse, willing to give us practically everything, and for the first time in decades, a country that respects the United States and its president, ME, and the U.S. Senate decides to hold an out-of-time and pointless vote on the war powers act," he said in a post on Truth Social.
"By making it clear to the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism that the United States does not like what I am doing to them, and that I must stop, thereby providing help and support to the enemy," he continued.
Trump admitted that the Senate vote made it harder for him to carry out his plans, but promised to see them through to the end, because "he always does".
According to the Republican's assurances, the unlocked Iranian funds amounting to billions of dollars will be deposited in a trust account controlled by the United States and earmarked for purchasing American agricultural products such as corn, wheat, and soy.
These claims were denied by the spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghaei, who assured that Tehran would be able to freely use the funds.
Baghaei also rejected Trump's statement that Iran had agreed to long-term, advanced inspections of the nuclear program.
A CBS News poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly oppose the war in the Middle East.
69% of respondents believed it was not worth the costs, while 78% of those surveyed called for its immediate end.
