Representative Meeks managed the resolution's timing, hoping to build enough support to end the war in Iran.
The House narrowly defeated a Democratic resolution aimed at ending the war in Iran by a 214-213-1 vote, as most Democratic holdouts shifted to support the measure while only one Republican voted in favor.

Representative Gregory Meeks’ resolution to curb presidential military authority in Iran failed in a narrow 214-213 House vote. Fox News characterizes the result as a rejected "Democrat attempt" to limit President Trump, while left-leaning outlets like Common Dreams and The New Republic focus on the single Democratic defection that caused the measure to fail. Across the spectrum, outlets highlight Meeks’ warning that the U.S. is approaching a conflict with no "exit ramp."
