US House Votes 214-208 to Halt Trump's Iran Campaign

The U.S. House voted 214-208 Thursday for H.Con.Res. 89, directing President Donald Trump to remove American forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress authorizes them. Four Republicans joined every Democrat, while most Republicans opposed the measure. The resolution is largely symbolic and does not carry force of law on its own; a similar Senate measure faced a difficult path later Thursday. The vote came as U.S. airstrikes continued, Iran and the United States remained locked in a dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, and lawmakers questioned the campaign's authorization and endgame.
