U.S. House restricts Trump's Iran military moves
The U.S. House of Representatives voted by a majority of 220 to 204 in favor of a measure that curtails President Donald Trump's authority to carry out military operations against Iran without congressional approval. This marks a third attempt to end the ongoing conflict. The legislation aims to impose time limits on military actions undertaken by the president without congressional authorization, although the resolution remains an uncertain stance and faces potential opposition from Trump. The vote comes amid rising financial costs of the war, which has exceeded $38 billion, along with issues in missile stockpiles that could take up to five years to rebuild. Washington is also witnessing a debate over constitutional powers between Congress and the presidency regarding the management of foreign military operations, ahead of the midterm elections scheduled for November 2026.
