Representative Meeks sponsored the failed House resolution seeking to end U.S. military hostilities against Iran.
A House resolution to end U.S. military hostilities against Iran failed by a single vote, 213-214, largely along party lines. The measure reflects growing congressional tension over President Trump's unauthorized military campaign and public opposition to the conflict.

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."
