House votes to curb Iran war as Senate blocks parallel bid

The House passed a 214-208 war-powers resolution to halt U.S. military action in Iran, with four Republicans crossing party lines; the Senate blocked a parallel measure 49-47, with Sen. Susan Collins as the lone Republican ally. The votes underscore a partisan fight over Congress’s authority as the conflict continues and costs rise, with Democrats planning to keep pressing similar votes and to use funding leverage, while the White House opposes such resolutions and argues Trump’s actions require no congressional authorization.
