On Thursday, the US House of Representatives narrowly voted against a resolution that sought to limit military action against Iran without congressional approval, resulting in a tie of 212-212. The resolution was designed to halt hostilities unless Congress formally authorized further military engagement, marking the third attempt this year to address the Iran conflict under the War Powers Resolution. This vote comes after the conflict surpassed the 60-day threshold requiring congressional approval for continued military action. President Donald Trump had previously stated that a ceasefire had ended hostilities against Iran. The voting has become increasingly contentious, with Republicans holding a slim majority, as demonstrated by the last resolution's failure in April by a narrow margin of 213-214. Similar tensions are reflected in the Senate, where a related war powers resolution was blocked by a vote of 50-49.
