US House Votes to Halt Iran War
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass a resolution that directs President Donald Trump to stop military actions against Iran unless Congress approves it.
This resolution was introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal and was supported by 214 votes in favor and 208 against.
Four Republicans joined the Democrats in voting for the resolution.
The resolution is largely symbolic and does not have the power to stop military actions, but it sends a message about the need for congressional approval before military action.
The vote comes after recent military actions, including U.S. airstrikes on Iran and Iran firing at U.S. bases.
