The United States — United States House of Representatives>>> passed a war powers resolution, with bipartisan support, to limit President Donald Trump>>>'s authority to continue military actions against Iran>>>. The vote of 215 to 208, including four Republicans, marked a significant rebuke to Donald Trump>>>'s handling of the three-month-old conflict. The resolution directs Donald Trump>>> to withdraw United States>>> troops from Iran>>> unless Congress formally declares war or authorizes military force.
