House Votes for a Third Time to End the Iran War as Conflict Drags On
The 220-204 vote drew seven Republicans and came as Democrats pressed Congress to limit Trump’s military authority before the November elections.
- 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.
- Since launching Feb. 28, the war has cost more than $38 billion and disrupted oil shipments, fueling public skepticism with 67% of voters saying military action hurt the United States.
- Seven Republicans joined most Democrats in Tuesday's vote, an increase from prior efforts as lawmakers campaign with less than 50 days before November elections.
- Although the House passed the measure, it faces uncertain prospects in the Senate, and Trump would almost certainly veto any legislation curtailing his military powers.
- 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.
