President Donald Trump suffered a rare defeat in the House of Representatives as lawmakers voted to withdraw troops from the Iran conflict in a bipartisan measure, marking a significant curb on his war powers in the region. The bill passed with a narrow margin, driven by support from Democrats and some Republicans who joined forces against the president's position. The move marks a major shift in Trump's approach to the conflict and comes amid growing tensions between the US and Iran following the killing of top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani. The outcome reflects a rare instance of Congress intervening directly to limit the president's authority on foreign policy.
