The U.S. House of Representatives today voted 214–208 to approve a resolution calling for a halt to military action in Iran, according to Channel 12 news. The measure, described as a repeat of earlier resolutions, urges the administration to cease operations against Iran. The Senate is expected to consider a similar resolution later today.
This vote follows a series of War Powers Resolution votes in the Senate in recent weeks, including a 50–48 approval on June 24 and a subsequent reversal on June 25. The House had previously passed a $95 billion Iran war budget with all Democrats opposing. The narrow margin in today's House vote reflects deep partisan divisions over U.S. military engagement with Iran.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today at 17:49 Jerusalem, the House had approved the resolution; the vote tally of 214–208 was later confirmed. The Senate's upcoming discussion will be closely watched.
