TL;DR Summary

The House narrowly defeated a War Powers Resolution intended to block President Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran, 214-213 along party lines; one Democrat voted against the measure and three Republicans abstained. The move relies on the 1973 War Powers Resolution and underscores Congress’s ongoing effort to curb presidential military action, with a May 1 deadline for action under that framework.
