House rejects effort to withdraw US from Iran war

The U.S. House of Representatives has rejected a resolution that would have required President Donald Trump to withdraw American forces from the war with Iran unless Congress authorizes the military action. This vote represents a legislative endorsement of the President's ongoing military campaign against Iran. The defeated measure was a War Powers Resolution, a tool Congress can use to challenge a president's use of military force without its approval. The outcome signals continued congressional support for the administration's strategy in the Middle East.
