The US House of Representatives narrowly voted down a resolution to curb President Trump's power to wage war with Iran, with 213 in favor and 214 against. This defeat, following a similar Senate vote, underscores Republican reluctance to constrain Trump's military actions amidst an ongoing conflict with Iran.
