House Votes Down Bid to Limit Trump's Iran War Powers

In a move that highlighted the deep political divide over issues of war and peace, the US House of Representatives voted down the latest effort to curtail President Trump's power to wage war against Iran. The resolution, which was supported by nearly all Democratic lawmakers, failed to gain traction among Republican representatives, leading to its ultimate defeat.

The vote came just a day after a similar measure met a similar fate in the US Senate, where it was rejected along party lines. The House's rejection of the resolution underscores the ongoing partisan battle over the extent of the president's authority to take military action without congressional approval, particularly when it comes to the volatile situation with Iran.
