The U.S. House of Representatives votes for a third time on a war powers resolution to end the war in Iran, approving legislation that would limit President Donald Trump’s ability to continue military action without congressional approval. Multiple outlets report the measure passes the House on a similar path to earlier attempts this summer.
The resolution would need further action in the Senate before any change takes effect. PBS NewsHour notes the debate comes more than six months into a conflict that Trump said would be short, and it highlights the domestic context of how the war affects daily life in Iran. Other reports focus more on the political and procedural stakes, including that the resolution has not reached the president’s desk and that Trump would almost certainly veto it.
Outlet coverage also describes the voting alignment: the third vote passes 220–204, with most Democrats supporting and several Republicans joining them, while earlier efforts drew different Senate responses. Some outlets add that previous Senate approval efforts were reversed after Trump’s intervention, underscoring uncertainty about how quickly Congress can act across both chambers.
