The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Iran War Powers Resolution for a second time, calling on President Donald Trump to stop the war with Iran, according to Odaily, citing Jin10. The roll-call vote ended 214-208, with four Republican House members joining Democrats in support of the measure. The chamber had already passed a similar resolution in June this year, and that vote also drew support from four Republicans. The report said the latest move is largely symbolic, but it also points to broad unease over the Iran conflict and growing concern among a small group of Republican lawmakers. Those concerns, as cited in the source, include the possibility of strong voter backlash in the midterm congressional elections only a few months away. The development highlights continued divisions in Washington over the conflict and the degree of bipartisan support for efforts to restrain the administration’s war posture.
