Use congressional war powers to end President Trump's war with Iran and pursue diplomacy instead.

We need to use the power we have to end this war and head down the path of real diplomacy – let’s take it.

Baldwin urged senators to use their authority, ahead of a vote on the Iran War Powers Resolution, to end the war with Iran and pursue diplomacy.

The Guardian reported that Iran and the U.S. threatened to reignite conflict after extensive exchanges of fire, that U.S. Central Command said 80 targets had been struck, and that the ceasefire/MOU was supposed to lead to phased negotiations and a permanent end to hostilities.

As of July 8, 2026, hostilities had resumed or nearly resumed despite the June war-powers action and negotiations, so the commitment to end the war and pursue diplomacy remained unresolved or effectively not delivered.
