Meeks sponsored the failed resolution and warned that the conflict is spiraling into an endless war without a viable endgame.
The House narrowly defeated a measure to halt U.S. military operations against Iran in a 213-214 vote, as Republicans largely remained unified behind President Trump despite rising economic costs and an expiring ceasefire.

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."
