House Passes Third Iran War-Powers Resolution
x/donald-john-trump
— 3d
The U.S. House has for a third time passed a war powers resolution aimed at halting President Donald Trump’s ability to take military action against Iran, signaling bipartisan pressure ahead of the midterm elections even as the Senate’s path remains uncertain and Trump is expected to veto. The votes reflect continuing concern about the Iran conflict, with party lines shifting slightly as a handful of Republicans joined Democrats, and the cost of the war mounting as the political debate intensifies.
