House Narrowly Passes Iran War Powers Resolution; Senate Vote Looms
The 214-208 vote sends a warning to President Donald Trump as lawmakers question the administration’s endgame and the Senate prepares a similar vote.
- The House narrowly passed a resolution on Thursday directing President Donald Trump to halt U.S. military action in Iran, voting 214-208 with four Republicans joining Democrats in a second congressional rebuke of the escalating war.
- Continued American airstrikes persist despite diplomatic stalemate over the Strait of Hormuz, while the unpopular war threatens economic disruption and rising fuel prices ahead of midterm elections this fall.
- Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who led the resolution, said the war has "no clear mission, no strategy, no end goal," though most Republicans voted to back Trump and cede war powers to him.
- The Senate is expected to vote on a similar resolution later Thursday morning, with Democratic votes serving as largely symbolic signals that Republican support on Capitol Hill is fracturing.
- Rising fuel prices and energy disruptions from the closed Strait of Hormuz compound economic pressure on Trump heading into midterm elections, as lawmakers from both parties question the administration's endgame.
