The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a war powers resolution to stop military action against Iran, challenging President Trump as some Republicans sided with Democrats. This move reflects growing dissatisfaction with the ongoing conflict, which has affected domestic politics and global relations. House Speaker Mike Johnson previously tried to block the resolution, but support has increased as the war continues and Trump struggles to negotiate peace. The resolution passed with a 215-208 vote, signaling disapproval of Trump’s strategy. Despite a declared ceasefire, tensions remain high, and the conflict has led to economic impacts like rising gas prices. The Senate has also shown opposition, with some GOP senators breaking ranks. The situation remains uncertain as Trump is expected to resist any congressional limits on his authority.
