The US House of Representatives approves a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s military actions related to Iran. According to multiple outlets, the House votes 215–208, with four Republicans joining Democrats to support the measure. The vote is described by several sources as a rare rebuke of Trump’s Iran war strategy.
The reports identify the four dissenting Republicans as Thomas Massie (Kentucky), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania), Warren Davidson (Ohio) and Tom Barrett (Michigan). Their support with Democrats produces the narrow approval margin.
All accounts agree the resolution is sent to the US Senate for further consideration. Under the War Powers Resolution framework referenced by at least one source, the measure is designed to require the president to either obtain congressional approval for continued use of military force or withdraw US forces. One outlet also notes that the resolution is likely to face a presidential veto, though the House action itself represents congressional pushback.
