House blocks Iran war authorization

The result is a significant victory for the administration, which has argued that the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force provides sufficient legal basis for the conflict.

Several Republicans joined the opposition, signaling deepening domestic unease with the military campaign.

The vote occurred as the administration continues to press for a diplomatic resolution through talks in Beijing.
