Lawmakers approved a resolution calling for an end to US military involvement in Iran without congressional authorization.
The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s authority to continue military operations against Iran without approval from Congress.
The measure was approved in a 215-208 vote, with four Republicans joining Democrats in support. The resolution calls on the president to end the use of US armed forces in hostilities against Iran unless Congress formally declares war or authorizes military action.
Although the resolution is largely symbolic and does not carry the force of law, it marks the first successful congressional challenge to the administration’s handling of the three-month-old conflict. The measure will now move to the Senate for consideration.
The vote follows several failed attempts by Democrats to pass similar legislation. Supporters argue Congress must reclaim its constitutional role in decisions involving war, while opponents say restricting the president’s powers could weaken ongoing diplomatic and military efforts.
The vote signals growing bipartisan concern in Congress over US involvement in the Iran conflict, even as the White House insists the president will continue exercising his authority as commander-in-chief.
