House Republicans cancel a planned vote on an Iran war resolution after they cannot secure enough votes to dismiss the measure, according to multiple outlets. The resolution is designed to require President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from the war with Iran, and it was expected to move forward after being placed on a fast-track schedule. However, Republicans report difficulty gathering the votes needed to block the resolution under dismissal procedures. CBS and NPR both describe the vote as appearing close to meeting the threshold needed to pass or dismiss, but ultimately falling short. As a result, planned House votes on the matter are delayed, with NPR reporting that further votes are pushed into June. The New York Post similarly says Republicans call off the vote, framing the issue as a lack of votes to dismiss the legislation. Across sources, the key point is that internal vote counting within the House Republican leadership prevents the resolution from being decided on the scheduled date.
