US House Passes Resolution on War Powers Concerning Iran
Lawmakers approved the measure by a vote of 220-204, according to Anadolu Agency.
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a war powers resolution concerning Iran, according to a report by Anadolu Agency, a Turkish state-run news agency.
The measure was approved by a vote of 220-204, the report said.
War powers resolutions of this kind are typically intended to limit a president's ability to engage in or continue military action against a foreign country without explicit authorization from Congress.
Anadolu Agency's report did not provide additional details on the specific provisions of the resolution or the context surrounding the vote.
The measure would still need to pass the Senate before it could take effect, though the report did not specify further legislative steps or a timeline.
This is a developing story and further details were not immediately available.
