The US House of Representatives voted 215-208 to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to take further military action in Iran, with four Republicans joining Democrats in this effort. This marks the fourth attempt by the House to curb Trump’s war powers, which critics argue lack congressional approval. The resolution now awaits approval from the Republican-controlled Senate, where similar measures have previously stalled. The vote highlights divisions within the Republican Party, following a recent conservative revolt against a proposed $1.8 billion fund. Republican Thomas Massie and others sided with Democrats, emphasizing Congress’s role in declaring war. Democrat Gregory Meeks called the vote a bipartisan rebuke of Trump’s actions in Iran, which have raised fuel prices and complicated diplomatic efforts. The conflict began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February, leading to retaliatory attacks and a temporary ceasefire. Despite ongoing negotiations, tensions remain high with recent strikes exchanged between the US and Iran.
