Republicans block bid to halt Trump’s Iran war in House vote

Republicans block bid to halt Trump’s Iran war in House vote Republicans in the US House of Representatives have blocked a Democratic-led resolution aimed at halting Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran unless approved by Congress. The measure failed by a razor-thin 214–213 vote in the Republican-controlled chamber on Thursday, underscoring deep divisions over the war. The vote comes a day after a similar effort was stopped in the Senate, as Democrats push to assert congressional authority over military action.
