The US House voted 220-204 to approve a war powers resolution aimed at ending the military action in Iran, with more Republicans joining Democrats in support. Despite this resolution, which is the third attempt by the House to limit President Trump's military authority, it is unlikely to pass due to a presidential veto. In separate news, a $2.8 billion military aid package is set to provide Israel with one-ton bombs, and six lawful permanent residents, along with one undocumented immigrant, were charged for voting in federal elections over the past eight years.
The US House has voted 220-204 for the third time to end the war in Iran, passing a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's military actions without congressional approval. The six-month conflict, which began on February 28, has cost $38 billion, with an expected increase of $3 billion per month, and is anticipated to raise inflation by 0.5 percentage points in early 2027. Despite these resolutions and a majority of Americans deeming the war not worth fighting, Trump's administration remains resistant to congressional efforts to curtail military engagement.
