It was one of two Democratic-led measures opposed by the White House that advanced in the GOP-led House. Lawmakers later passed a motion that would unlock a vote on sending aid to Ukraine.
Main Idea: The House voted to rebuke President Donald Trump over his war with Iran by passing a measure that would limit U.S. military action unless Congress approves it.
Key Points:
The House vote may add tension to US-Iran policy and could create more uncertainty for markets, workers, and families if it slows diplomacy or raises the risk of wider conflict.
Lawmakers also pushed a Ukraine aid vote, which could support US allies and signal steadier foreign policy for voters and businesses.
