US House Narrowly Rejects Bid to Rein in President Trump's Iran War Powers
The US House of Representatives narrowly defeated a resolution aimed at curbing President Trump's military actions in Iran, with a tied vote of 212-212. The resolution, led by Democrats, sought to require congressional authorization for continued hostilities, reflecting concerns over the constitutional authority to declare war. Despite some Republican support, the resolution failed to pass, marking the third such attempt this year. The conflict with Iran, intensified by joint US-Israeli airstrikes, has led to increased domestic costs for goods and services, fueling further debate. The White House maintains that Trump's actions are within his rights as commander-in-chief to protect national security.
