The resolution nonetheless serves as a political rebuke to President Donald Trump, who launched the conflict in February, according to the reports.\n\nThe resolution passes with support from both parties: four members of Trump’s Republican Party join Democrats in backing the measure.

The House action signals disagreement within Congress over the continuation of US involvement in the Iran conflict, even as the practical impact remains uncertain due to the potential for presidential veto and the need for additional legislative steps.
