President Trump's authority to conduct military operations in Iran narrowly survived a House challenge as he claimed the war is nearly over.
The U.S. House narrowly defeated a War Powers Resolution (213-214) aimed at limiting President Trump's military actions in Iran, as a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz continues to drive up global energy prices.

While center-leaning outlets like Politico focus on the narrow 214-213 vote as a legislative victory for the administration, more partisan sources offer sharper interpretations. The New Republic frames the outcome as a failure to stop an unauthorized "assault," whereas the far-right Next News Network celebrates the defeat of what it calls a Democratic "War Powers Grab."
