The U.S. House of Representatives passes a Democratic-backed war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump’s military action in Iran. The measure is approved in a 214–208 vote, with all House Democrats supporting it. Four Republicans join them, voting in favor of the resolution: Reps. Tom Barrett (Michigan), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Thomas Massie (Kentucky), and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania). Multiple outlets describe the action as a symbolic vote that does not carry the force of law, but is intended to signal congressional pressure on the Trump administration to end or wind down operations in Iran. CBS News and others report that the resolution directs the president to end military operations in Iran, while The Hill and other sources frame it as reflecting growing Republican dissatisfaction with how Trump is handling Iran policy. Separate reporting also notes that the Senate has a related effort, including a concurrent resolution proposed by Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen that would restrict military action in Iran without congressional approval.
