CoinEx News: The U.S. Senate voted 50-47 on May 19 to advance S.J.Res. 185, an Iran war-powers resolution that would require U.S. forces to leave hostilities against Iran unless Congress authorizes them. It was the chamber’s first successful advance after seven failed attempts since the conflict began in February, with four Republicans joining most Democrats.

The measure still needs final Senate passage and approval in the Republican-led House, and Reuters said it would need two-thirds majorities in both chambers to survive an expected Trump veto. The vote does not end the war, but it raises the political cost of further escalation and may influence Trump’s next moves, keeping oil volatility, Treasury-yield pressure and BTC-led risk appetite tied to Washington’s war-powers fight.
