thebalanced.newsUS House Narrowly Rejects War Powers Resolution on Iran Military Action
The US House of Representatives narrowly rejected a Democratic-backed war powers resolution aimed at blocking further military action against Iran without congressional approval. The vote ended in a 212-212 tie, failing to pass the measure that sought to enforce the War Powers Resolution's 60-day limit on hostilities. This was the third such vote this year, with previous attempts also narrowly failing in both the House and Senate amid a slim Republican majority. President Trump had declared a ceasefire had ended hostilities with Iran.
