House rejects bid to curb Iran conflict, keeping Trump’s operations underway

The U.S. House voted 212-219 to reject a Democratic-backed war powers resolution that would have forced U.S. withdrawal from hostilities with Iran until Congress authorized military action, allowing the broader Trump-authorized air and naval campaign to continue despite partisan concerns and questions about clear objectives; the Senate had already rejected a similar measure, and Republicans argue the president was already empowered to act.
