House Defeats Iran War Powers Resolution

Republican leaders largely maintained party discipline, arguing that curtailing the President's powers during active peace negotiations would undermine national security.

Democrats expressed deep concern over the lack of a formal authorization for the war, which has now entered its seventh week.

The vote occurred just hours after President Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, a move that bolstered the administration's claims of diplomatic success.

Despite growing misgivings among some GOP lawmakers about the war's duration and economic impact, the majority remains unwilling to publicly break with the White House.
