House votes for a third time to end the Iran war as conflict drags on
The 220-204 vote marked the third House rebuke of Trump’s Iran policy, with seven Republicans joining Democrats as gas prices and costs remain high.
- On Tuesday, the House voted 220-204 to restrict President Donald Trump's military authority in Iran, marking a third symbolic rebuke of the ongoing conflict.

- Republican Rep. Brian Mast argued Iran remains a threat and Trump is against "forever wars," while Democrats claimed the administration lacks a strategic resolution after seven months of fighting.
