The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a war powers resolution seeking to halt American military action against Iran, delivering a rare bipartisan rebuke to President Donald Trump as opposition to the three-month conflict continues to grow.

The measure passed 215-208, with four Republicans joining Democrats in support. The vote marked the first time the House has approved legislation aimed at curbing U.S. military operations against Iran.The resolution now faces an uncertain future. Trump is expected to oppose any congressional effort to limit his authority as commander in chief, making it unlikely the measure will become law without further legislative action.According to U.S. media reports, House Speaker Mike Johnson had attempted to prevent the vote two weeks ago by suspending floor proceedings when the resolution appeared close to securing enough support.

Democratic lawmakers argued that the prolonged conflict has increased economic pressures on American households through higher fuel and consumer costs.Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the administration should move toward ending the conflict and pursuing diplomatic solutions.The vote is the latest sign of growing unease in Congress over the war. Last month, the Senate advanced a separate war powers resolution after several Republican senators broke with the White House and joined Democrats in support of the measure.Each successive congressional vote related to limiting U.S. involvement in the conflict has attracted broader backing, reflecting concerns over the war’s duration and its political and economic consequences.Trump campaigned on reducing U.S. military involvement overseas and focusing on domestic priorities. However, the conflict with Iran has shifted attention back to the Middle East and emerged as a major political issue ahead of next year’s congressional elections.
