House limits Trump's Iran military authority
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution aimed at restricting President Donald Trump's authority to carry out military operations against Iran, with 214 members supporting it and 208 opposing. Some Republican representatives joined Democrats in voting. The resolution is considered a strong condemnation of the Trump administration, but it has no binding legal power. A separate Senate vote on a similar resolution is expected to achieve the same goal. This escalation comes amid rising military confrontations between the United States and Iran, as Washington carried out strikes on Iran about two weeks ago, which the latter responded to with attacks on ships and military bases. This follows the breakdown of a previous ceasefire, leading to renewed tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and issues of ensuring maritime freedom.
