Summary
Four House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a 215-208 resolution aimed at blocking further Trump-ordered strikes on Iran, prompting the president to say they “should be ashamed of themselves.”
The measure would require Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from the Iran conflict or seek congressional approval, though significant hurdles remain before Congress could force an end to hostilities.
Trump had already branded backers of the resolution “unpatriotic,” underscoring a widening clash with lawmakers over his authority to expand military action.
The vote marked the House’s fourth attempt to rein in Trump’s war powers on Iran and signaled growing impatience in Congress, including within his own party.
