What Was Claimed
ISNA reported that the US Senate, by a margin of 1 vote, rejected a measure that would have required the President to obtain congressional authorization to continue military operations against Iran.
What the Record Shows
The Senate roll call shows vote number 244 on September 24, 2026: H. Con. Res. 89, a concurrent resolution directing the President under section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove US armed forces from hostilities with Iran, was rejected 49 to 50, with 1 senator not voting.
The margin and the outcome match ISNA's report. The measure was a concurrent resolution directing withdrawal from hostilities rather than a bill requiring authorization; ISNA's description of its purpose is a close paraphrase.
