The US House of Representatives voted 215 to 208 to pass a war powers resolution aimed at halting or limiting US military action in Iran. The resolution seeks to compel President Donald Trump to withdraw US forces from hostilities against Iran or to seek congressional authorization for military action. Four Republican members of the House voted with Democrats in support of the resolution. A separate but similar war powers resolution advanced past a procedural hurdle in the US Senate last month. The US House vote is largely symbolic because it is unlikely to become law without Senate passage and a two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto. According to the BBC, the US House has passed multiple war powers resolutions on Iran, with previous attempts failing.
