House Republicans Postpone Vote on War Powers Resolution Regarding Iran Conflict

Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives canceled a scheduled vote on a Democratic-backed war powers resolution that would require President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval before continuing military action against Iran. The vote was postponed to early June amid growing Republican defections and absences, reflecting increasing unease within the party over the ongoing conflict. Similar legislation advanced in the Senate with bipartisan support, highlighting congressional concerns about the war's direction and constitutional authority over military engagement.
