The US House of Representatives passes a resolution that seeks to restrict President Donald Trump’s ability to take further military action against Iran. The vote comes amid continued deadlock in US-Iran negotiations, which have not produced an agreement to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Multiple reports describe the talks as complicated and marked by sharp rhetoric and intermittent violence, but no deal has been reached to address core issues driving the standoff. The resolution is presented as a significant political step that limits the executive branch’s room for maneuver and reflects broader congressional pressure on how the United States responds to the crisis. While the House action is described largely as symbolic, it signals an attempt to rein in policy decisions as diplomatic efforts stagnate. The reporting also highlights the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz for global oil supply and notes that reopening it remains tied to progress in negotiations with Tehran.
