Four House Republicans back ending US hostilities with Iran Four House Republicans joined Democrats in a vote to compel President Donald Trump to end hostilities against Iran, representing a significant foreign policy setback. The House passed legislation to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress provides explicit authorization, a measure that previously passed the Senate. Despite potential presidential vetoes, the vote signals a growing bipartisan challenge to Trump’s war powers.

• Four House Republicans voted with Democrats to pass legislation aiming to end U.S. hostilities with Iran.
• The House vote, 215-208, seeks to require explicit congressional authorization for military action against Iran.
• A similar measure passed the Senate, though its fate in the upper chamber and potential presidential veto remain uncertain.
• The vote is seen as a challenge to President Trump’s war powers, particularly as the conflict has exceeded the 90-day limit stipulated by the War Powers Resolution.
• The White House has argued the conflict has not reached the threshold due to a ceasefire, but this argument is being contested.
