US House Passes War Powers Resolution to End Iran War
Lower chamber approves measure directing President Trump to end US involvement in the Iran conflict by a vote of 220-204
The US House of Representatives has passed a war powers resolution directing President Donald Trump to end American military involvement in a war with Iran, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The lower chamber approved the measure by a vote of 220-204, the report said.
War powers resolutions are typically used by Congress to assert its constitutional authority over decisions involving the deployment of US military forces, particularly in cases where lawmakers seek to limit or end a president's use of force without a formal declaration of war.
Anadolu Agency's report did not provide further details on the sponsors of the resolution, the specific military actions it addresses, or the resolution's next legislative steps.
This is a developing story and further details may follow as more information becomes available.
