House Democrats Move to Curb Trump-Era Iran War Powers

House Democrats plan to use unanimous consent to pass a resolution that would permanently curb U.S. war powers over Iran, a move Republicans are expected to block; the push comes amid a fragile two-week ceasefire in the region, ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon, and reports of Iran halting Hormuz traffic. Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the ceasefire woefully insufficient, while Republicans remain hesitant to break ranks. The Senate is set to vote next week, and the House is in recess until April 14.
