Democrats stall Iran war-powers vote amid attendance gaps and uncertain GOP support

Leadership aims to shore up more GOP backing before risking a defeat, while some progressives express frustration that action is delayed. An earlier attempt failed 212-219 with four Democrats voting against it; several lawmakers remain undecided or absent, highlighting ongoing intra-party tensions over how aggressively to challenge executive military action.
