The House approved a war powers resolution seeking to halt U.S. military action against Iran, with a 215-208 vote. The measure’s passage marks the first time the House has approved an effort to curb the war.
The House approved the resolution after Speaker Mike Johnson had previously shut down floor action when it appeared close to passing. The vote was 215-208, and the article says a handful of Republicans joined Democrats. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries had urged Republicans to support the measure, citing the war’s cost and its effects on the country’s position relative to Iran.
The resolution would not immediately stop the war and would next go to the Senate, which had advanced a similar measure but had not taken a final vote. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that Iran could interpret congressional approval as limiting the administration’s options. The article also describes the continuing conflict, negotiations, and the constitutional dispute over Congress’s and the president’s war powers.
