US House Iran tensions returned to the center of US politics after the House approved a resolution calling on President Donald Trump to end American military participation in the conflict with Iran. The vote reflects growing resistance in Congress to a war that has now lasted for nearly five months.<\/p>\n
The development came as Trump said he was seriously considering resuming expanded combat operations against Iran, adding another layer of uncertainty to the conflict.<\/p>\n
The House approved the resolution by a vote of 214 to 208, with four Republicans joining Democrats and breaking with the party\u2019s support for the president.<\/p>\n
The measure, introduced under the War Powers Act, directs Trump to end US military participation in combat operations with Iran that were not authorized by Congress.<\/p>\n
Although the vote is significant, the resolution is largely political and symbolic. Legal debate continues over whether Congress can force the president to end military operations through a concurrent resolution that does not go to the White House for signature.<\/p>\n
The Senate is expected to consider a separate war powers measure as criticism grows over Trump\u2019s handling of the conflict.<\/p>\n
Lawmakers have increased pressure on the administration after peace talks stalled and strikes between the two sides intensified in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
The House vote followed the deaths of four American service members in the Middle East over the weekend, which deepened concerns in Congress about the lack of a clear path to ending the war.<\/p>\n
The House had previously approved a related resolution on June 3 by a vote of 215 to 208, marking its first successful effort to limit US military operations against Iran.<\/p>\n
In contrast, Trump told Axios on Thursday that he is seriously considering launching a broad attack against Iran and is prepared to make the final decision.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI am seriously considering resuming expanded combat operations against Iran, more than at any time before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump added: \u201cI am close to making the final decision on this attack, and our preparations are complete.\u201d<\/p>\n
