House Rejects Bid to Limit Trump's Authority Over Iran War Powers Amid Ongoing Conflict
House Republicans blocked a new attempt by Democrats to halt the U.S. military campaign against Iran, standing by President Donald Trump's war powers.
The US House of Representatives rejected a Democratic attempt to limit President Donald Trump's war powers regarding Iran, keeping his military campaign in the Middle East unchanged despite growing opposition from lawmakers and some critics questioning its strategic value. The motion, which aimed to restrict Trump's authority to launch military operations against Iran without congressional approval, was blocked by Republicans. The move marks the latest twist in a long-running debate over the role of Congress in shaping US foreign policy, particularly regarding the Middle East. Trump has maintained confidence in his strategy despite criticism from lawmakers and intelligence officials.
