House Votes to End Iran War, Senate Blocks

The US House passed a resolution directing President Trump to halt military action against Iran, with four Republicans crossing the aisle in a bipartisan rebuke.

The Senate then blocked a parallel measure, highlighting growing Congressional frustration as Trump warned he was close to ordering a “massive attack” on Iran.

The House vote reflected deep unease over a conflict with no clear mission or end goal.

The war has already cost the US more than $37.5 billion, with the Pentagon requesting an additional $67 billion.
